I've got a box of those magazine in the attic.

My favorite ever was all the Tunderdrome race coverage from the January 1990 issue. Man did I want to go to that race!!

It's kind of fun to look through the old mags. If you have a RCCA on-line subscription your can read through most of their archives on-line. A lot of the ads are missing though which is a bummer. Those are fun to see too.
