Hot Rod magazines
 
1 Attachment(s)
Going through my old Hot Rod magazines and found this poster. If anyone
wants it let me know. I don't want anything for it. And if anyone any of these
magazines also let me know. They are 1976 through 1979.

Hey oldman- one of those issues (Sep '78 maybe) had coverage of what was said to be the "2nd annual" Car Craft Street Machine Nationals. But I just acquired a 1972 Car Craft issue which has coverage of the inaugural Car Craft Street Machine Nationals in Memphis that year- which I attended, and my custom Ranchero still has the plaque on the dash. Any idea what that's all about?

I'm interested in all of the '76-'79 Hot Rod magazines. I'll send a PM.

Think '77 was first year for CC Nats in Indy?

'77 could have been the first year in Indy. But that doesn't change the fact that the very first Car Craft Street Machine Nationals was in '72.

I expect the Nationals weren't an ANNUAL affair, at least not at first.
So that "second annual" just means that they decided to make it a
regular thing just the year before?

In 1972 Car Craft planned for annual Street Machine Nationals. I don't know if any were held 1973 - 1976. Anybody know?

oldman- did you get my PM about the magazines?

Probably not a coincidence that the OPEC oil embargo took place in 73-74??
