Hah,
I used to do that too with National dragster, went through the index and sent letters to every manufacturer requesting catalogs and stickers...almost everyone of them would respond too.. Later I remember with probably my all time favorite magazine "Super Stock and Drag illustrated", it had a little card inside that had a bunch of manufacturers on it and you would just check the boxes of the info you requested and send it in to the mag...saved me a fortune in stamps......Hell, now you go to an NHRA event and hardly any of the manufacturers have catalogs anymore and your lucky to even get a free issue of National Dragster.While I love this site and make good use of the access to info on the net and the whole rapid shipping thing....I still say F--K the WWW and Cell phones.
Bring back Phone booths, Libraries, Drive-Ins, Encyclopedia Britannica, Diners, Cruise Nights and Street Races, Smoking in Restaurants and Bars, Hamburger Stands and Cheap High Octane Leaded Gas!
*****No air shocks for me and you can hardly make it out in the pic...But coolest sticker in my life at the time came when I was at the Winternationals one year and found this Unused Contestant sticker on the ground.....I was rocking that thing on my 66' Charger w/a 361 and thought I was the Cats Fkn Meow!
