***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***

Bigger, Better, Badder

DRAG Sport to Ship on August 5^th to a Tuner Near You

First Magazine Dedicated to Import Racers and Performance

No one magazine can be all things to all people. We have created DRAG Sport to appeal to the racers and hard-core performance enthusiasts that have the need for speed. For those who crave horsepower and modern drag racing, DRAG Sport will deliver the best recipes to build combinations that perform.

BIGGER

The industries leading tuners, reporters and experts along with the producers of IDRC Championship Drag racing are proud to announce the launch of DRAG Sport. Measuring 14.5”x11”, this large tabloid format provides nearly twice the page size of a conventional magazine. Bigger pages mean bigger pictures and the complete story.

BETTER

There is no magazine on the market today that truly delivers the information, news and entertainment to import and sport compact enthusiasts that eat, live and breathe performance. DRAG Sport will fill that void. Delivering the only COMPLETE race coverage along with features on cars that have earned the right to be in the BIGGEST import and sport compact magazine in the world.

BADDER

If you are looking for cars that have more invested in Bondo, body kits and paint than in performance, don’t buy DRAG Sport. If you want to find out the best combinations to win on the strip or in a stoplight confrontation, then you need DRAG Sport.

DRAG Sport Exclusives

CONTROLLED TARGETED DISTRIBUTION: Only 50,000 copies of the first issue will be printed. How do you get your copy? DRAG Sport ships directly to the top tuning shops around the United States, nearly 800 shops in all. Each shop receives 35 copies of every issue. Additionally, thousands of copies are distributed at IDRC events and select youth-oriented events such as X-games. You can also get DRAG Sport delivered to your door by becoming a member of the IDRC.

MULTIPLE COVERS: Every issue of DRAG Sport will have multiple covers. Why? The answer is simple. DRAG Sport is the racer’s magazine. We just produce the stories and take pictures of what racers and performance enthusiasts want to see. Two covers provide additional feedback. In turn, we receive more input to establish our ultimate direction. For issue one, look for both the cover of Ally with the AEM DRAG Civic and the cover with both Ally and Stephan Papadakis with the AEM DRAG Civic. At an introductory cover price of just $3.95, you may want to collect both.

 

NO POLITICS: Every industry in the world is full of them, but we don’t play favorites. If the NHRA, NDRA or IDRA throws a great event and records are broken, we’ll get the story on the event to our readers. If a company that does not advertise in DRAG Sport makes a part that works, we will let you know. Our job is to provide the editorial facts, not propaganda. Educate, inform and entertain our readers. That is our mission.

 

The Editors: Dave Buschur (Mitsubishi Performance Editor), Michael Ferrara (Tech Editor), Axels Fuentes Gonzales (Puerto Rico Insider), Eric Hsu (Tuning Editor), Eddie Kim (Bolt-on performance editor), Jackie Ling (East Coast Insider), Ron Lummus (Chassis Tech Editor), Jim Mederer (Rotary Performance Editor), Stephan Papadakis (Racer’s Perspectives Column) and Jack Sacchette (VW Air-Cooled Performance Editor)
