Ohio Drag Racing Times will be available at 12 drag strips located throughout Ohio as well as at various performance manufacturer outlets, speed shops and by subscription beginning March 2005. State wide distribution and affordable advertising makes it the perfect marketing vehicle for the small performance related business. 15,000 copies are scheduled to be printed each month.
“When we decided to first publish Ohio Drag Racing Times we did so because there seemed to be a log jam of magazines that only focused on the upper most pro categories, top fuel dragsters, top fuel funny cars and pro-stocks, but there wasn't anybody super serving the little guy racer", said John Shapiro, Publisher and owner.
"Our research has shown that it's the bracket racer who makes up 80% of the weekend racing and never gets any recognition, we're going to see to it that is reversed!"
