tacovini Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Under the Heading of "What's HOT for 2005" on Page 46, the editors "bagged on Pro Touring for its poseur element" and promoted the "increased awareness of all-around performance" lately as vintage musclecars are hitting the racetracks. Nice pic of an early AIX Camaro and reference to NASA and the American Iron series. On Page 84, Matt King starts Part 1 of his "How to build a Budget Race Car" and chronicles his CMC project Mustang. Each new issue of Hot Rod seems be better than the last one! It's nice to see roadracing (and our organization) more in the mainstream!!! -=- Todd Quote
PAI Racing Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 You can imagine how stoked I was to find out that I'm "What's hot for 2005"! Quote
tacovini Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 I was wondering if that was your car. Did you know it was going to be in there before seeing it? -=- Todd Quote
PAI Racing Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Nope, it was a complete suprise. Funny thing, I just started subscribing to HR again. I used to have a subscription when I was a kid but over the last 15 - 20 years it was rare that I lived in once place long enough to have a magazine subscription. So, when I got the second issue of my new subscription, I got quite a start seeing my car in there. I did see the HotRod guys at the track in Vegas, but they didn't seem too interested in my car. Go figure. Sean Quote
Nick 95 6sp Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Congrats on your featured spot, Sean. I'm glad to see this trend too. In the January issue of HotRod they featured a pretty radical road racing Chevelle owned by a guy from NY. I've been at Pocono with NASA when he's run and it's a blast to see how hard he drives that thing. And a few months before that they featured that radical tube frame '69 Camaro, I think from Calif. Needless to say, I love that car. I hope HR mag keeps this up since it just further adds to my interest. Quote
mwilson7 Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Our x-AI car was also featured in the January issue of Hot Rod. It's really changed for the better!!! Quote
EFisher12 Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Todd, how do I get a hold of Chris Lyons ? E mail or cell # . Hope the Holiday's treated you well. Thanks, Elliott Fisher Quote
Adam Ginsberg Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 NASA, and American Iron, was also in this months Mustang Monthly magazine ( primarily targeted towards the 1st gen Mustangs ). Quote
mwilson7 Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Adam, Are you referring to the press release on the AIX 05 Mustang cybercar? Quote
Adam Ginsberg Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Yep, that's what I'm referring to. Can someone shed some light on this? Quote
mwilson7 Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 I found it extremely strange as technically the 05 Mustang hasn't been categorized yet but there was a press release on it which must have been written at least 3 months ago. Was it supposed to be a NASA press release or something that Mustang Monthly did on its own? Quote
Members Jim P. Posted January 7, 2005 Members Posted January 7, 2005 Which issue of Mustang Monthly? (I want a copy!) Quote
mwilson7 Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 It's the one currently on the news stand. You won't find it in the table of contents or anything but in the press release section in the front. Quote
