Does anyone have, or at least seen this magazine?  It was just up on Ebay and got close to $40.
I was wondering if it was worth it or not.  I remember some of those pictorials from that era of drag racing and they had some spectacular photos in them.
I love the smell of nitro in the morning.

That does look cool. Does it say how many pages it has?

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

It didn't say, but from what I remember they had about 40-50 pages on heavy stock paper.

Here's the old link if you want to look at it... it does have some shots of the inner pages also.  It wasn't just about Nascar.

Racing Pictorials were THEEE source for color racing photos back in the day.   In fact, they were the only place to get color.    Typically, they were quarterly.  They do cover all kinds of racing, but mostly Indy and NASCAR.   

When the Wings Postcards came out in the early 1990's, they were pulled from the Racing Pictorial archives.    Many color photos you see circulated on the net were pulled from the magazines.   

If you want to collect genuine wing car memorabilia, these are nice pieces to have.
