The magazine is Grassroots Motorsports. They are a great magazine and not
at all one of the "big" ones. They are one of my new favorite finds. I met
the editor at midohio this year. He was driving a TR3, and the rospit has
been going on for quite some time now. It is a very interesting car and
done right. If you subscribe you get a free t shirt and they are really
devoted to the average guy racing, hence the name. They also are doing a
$2001 challenge. Build a car and race it in an autocross, drag race, and
concourse for $2001. Unfortunately the competition is in Florida or I'd be
there for sure. Worth reading
