Editor-in-Chief
e make it a point on these pages to highlight the exceptional
people that comprise the sport of drag racing - so much so that I can literally
count the number of times we’ve had a car on the cover of the magazine, as
compared to a human face, on one hand. This month, however, we’re focused
entirely on the numerous new parts this legendarily innovative industry is
offering up to the drag racing masses headed into the new year. Actually, after introducing our
Buyer’s Guide in 2016 and receiving a massively positive response, we’ve doubled down this time
around and went to great lengths to assemble the largest and most comprehensive collection of
the coolest new gadgets and gear straight-line motorsports manufacturers have to offer. In this
day-and-age of infinite information, we’re proud that we can do the legwork for our readers, pull
together all the stuff we feel you need to know or should see, and put it together in the slickest way
possible. We hope you enjoy the issue and we hope you find a few things you might have to have!
Just remember when you’re placing orders and overnight shipping your trick new tool or killer set
of cylinder heads or whatever else, tell them Drag Illustrated sent ya!
