also right now how many honda/acuras are entered

 

Is this magazine all muscle cars i have an import if i come in first will i still be in it?

 

its not all muscle cars

 

So in the magazine there is imports in there?

 

occasionally, it covers all motorsports in the area, 4x4, muscle, import, bikes, track cars.....

 

honda/acura is a big class by itself...might be better if its split up.

 

JDM - Just a few imports pre-registered at the moment. My phone and email have both been buzzing with people looking for info on the show though and I've got a number of verbal commitments for import registrations, but only a handful of checks. I suspect a lot of people are waiting to see how the weather is, but I am getting one or two registrations in my mail box every day. Pre-registration is $15 vs. $20 day of show, so if you're planning on showing, it's worth pre-registering. Makes things go smoother for us organizing things day of too.

sircrx - We cover a little bit of everything - domestic, import, cars, trucks, bikes, racing, tech, shows, etc. Our coverage has favored domestics in the past because we got more participation from domestic dominated clubs and advertisers. Our goal is to keep coverage balanced though and since we've been seeing more interest from the import crowd you'll continue to see more coverage leaning that way.

Part of the reason we're giving all class winners the opportunity to have their car featured in the magazine is to give us a standing library of nice cars to feature in future issues so we don't have to scramble on deadline to find a car that will balance the issue. After the show we'll have plenty of nice cars on file for the next year, ready to be featured. So in a nutshell, if you win your class your car will be featured.

Dive - As soon as I have 3 or more Hondas and 3 or more Acuras registered the classes will be divided. Same goes for Toyota/Lexus/Scion, etc. And beyond that, if the Honda class gets huge and we have a bunch of S2000's in the class or something like that, we'll divide the class further.

 

Our basic formula is: An import story, a domestic story, a bike story, a tech article, some reader photos or contributions, classified ads, business directory, ads.

That's obviously an ideal world situation though and sometimes we can't do it all. From the beginning though our content has largely been determined by our readers feedback. The more support we get from the import crowd, the more import based features you're going to see.

As an example, here's our current cover:

 

id come out if it were gonna be running later than 5pm...




but i dont get off work til 5.

 

Some of us will probably hang around and run the karts after 5!
