Grassroots Motorsports

I've been reading Grassroots Motorsports for some time now. I think that many who see it assume it is ALL about racing. Guess what? You're wrong!

If you are a "tuner" type, this might not be the magazine for you, but "tuner" features have existed in the mag. If you want to see bling or scantily clad young women, you won't find it in here. Go buy yourself a Pl*yboy instead. If you are looking for car audio, there are plenty of magazines out there.

But, if you are a car person (guy or gal), enjoy your car, love driving, maybe want to race in a controlled enviroment or become a better driver----THIS IS THE MAG FOR YOU!

Many of the technical and car build features are race specific, but most can easily be translated for use in cars for spirited driving on the street. Regular "Project Car" builds, some of which are essentially "practical race cars" or "street cars" and updates are include. Regular car "profiles" are presented as well. Features regarding the explaination of such things as tire fitment and pressure, shock replacement choice, etc can be found in almost every issue.

Much time is spent encouraging responsible auto racing (if there is such a thing), and no credence is given to the street racer scene. Racing belongs in a closed course, not subjecting the general public to possible peril.

If you think that the title "Grassroots Motorsports" is not descriptive, think again. The lowly Yugo has even made it into the pages, and annual "$2xxx Challenges" occur where there is a limit to the cost of the car entering---pretty much anyone can enter (but alas it is held in Florida) How much more grassroots can it be?. This is not racing snobbery, but racing accessibility for everyone ---even "go" carts and slot cars. Good coverage of amateur racing at all levels is a mainstay in the magazine as well.

Regardless of your age, gender, car (Fireflys , Sprints, Yugos are welcome in the pages), or driving competence there is something for everyone in this mag. Want to talk about varied? Where else would you see a Honda Odessey vs. Porsche 356 vs. Jaguare XKE comparison (sorry Road and Track, Car and Driver, and Automobile magazines)?

Don't listen to me! Find out for yourself.

...and no, I don't work for them:-)

Grassroots Motorsports and its sister publication Classic Motorsports Magazine are in my mind two of the best automotive publications out there. The articles are very informative, and written in a way that any enthusiast will enjoy them. No matter what their level of ability is. Reading these two magazines is like sitting in the garage listening to a friend tell you of their latest automotive adventures. This in itself would be enough to make them a must buy for me.

What really makes these two publications special is the community that is built around them. If you take the time to stop by the magazines message boards located at & you will start to get the sense of family that surrounds these two titles. These two titles are staffed by people who are our friends. Why shouldn't they be, they are all car nuts just like us.

So got to their website, request a free issue, then come join the family, you'll be glad you did!

Finally, a car magazine with intelligence and an interesting slant.

A magazine for people that enjoy working on, playing with and racing cars, especially sports cars, but that is truly "non-denominational". You'll see Mustangs, Corvettes, Hondas, Porsches, BMWs, even the occasional Yugo, Fiat or even Lotus. Even if you don't have an open automotive mind, you'll find out cool things about cars you never knew existed.

I've been reading GRM since before I could drive (and it was called "AutoX") and I've loved every issue. Keep it up, guys!
