Seems hard to believe, but this issue marks the 7th anniversary of Vintage Racecar Journal. What started as a seemingly delusional, one-man, Don Quixote–style obsession out of the back bedroom of my house has, seven years later, become the magazine that you now hold in your hands, which now reaches thousands of enthusiasts in more than 16 different countries.
The other day I had an opportunity to thumb through our very first, all black-and-white issue—I have to confess that I cringe every time I look at where we started from! However, as those who have been with us from the start can attest, we have steadily expanded and improved the depth and quality of the magazine over the years. As such, with this issue marking our seventh year of publication and the end of a record year for us, it seemed only fitting that we do something special.
