I sub to GRM and CM and Hot Rod until it runs out. I just kept renewing it because it was cheap and I have such fond memories of going on the Power Tour.

I have a book that reprints the first 12 issues of 'Hop Up' magazine, which was a spin-off from Road and Track starting in August '51. https://www.abebooks.com/first-edition/Hop-First-12-Issues-Morton-Mark/30700100555/bd. Very cool read.

My wife tosses that one around a lot too. Everytime someone mentions October.

What else are you supposed to do over those long winters?
