I always go to urbanracer.com for the most up to date and accurate information. They are the best!

That sounds a little to much like a commercial

As far as magazines go, nobody can touch modified mag right now. Has anyone noticed that turbo magazine is starting to look just like modified?? they had a 6,7,8sec club thing going and they wrote and article about how they are going to focus on the drag racing scene and event coverage. wow thats what modified has been doing since the first issue.urban racer has great coverage as far as up to date info on the web.!!

the accuracy thing is pretty ******* abysmal...... Savvy broke third gear at IDRC Maple Grove and on one site/mag they say "engine failure", another says "wiring problem" Then they say Jason was "sleeping at the tree" when in fact he was up against Gary who had a broken car.....how hard is it to get things right?

also look in this month's Drag Sport, Jason wins the GD class that day and they cant even get the name of the car correct, plus they said he was affiliated with some shop I've never heard of

On a less bitchy note, I like how the NHRA race results are posted online right after the rounds.... nothing like having to answer phone calls wondering why I went so damn slow... haha not enough time to think of excuses. Best one I thought of was kenny's car sucking the traction compound off the track (e-town)

much respect to the UR.com. jackie and co. have been around for a while and as of late have really stepped up their operation. not to mention they get all the info out light years before all the magazines. i also like these sites that werent on the list:
nhras site, gotta love the round by round updates. when i was in england during the e town springnationals i was refreshing like a madman!

evotuners.com, little bias here but you got to love the quality of a site being operated 1 PERSON!!! still holding its own.

and of course there is HT. and for all the import sites and magazines.
-Roger the guy who would like to see more of his car in all of these!!
