I'm eagerly awaiting the first issue. Hopefully Ryan will drop a line in here when it ships.

I'm hoping this does not turn out to be like the other magazine that many people signed up for but rarely if any received copies.

rdouthit was representing the magazine. Here is his profile https://www.rx8club.com/members/rdouthit-6342/ From there you will find a link where you can send him a email message. Then post a summery of his reply message. I would suggest that only one or two interested people send the email so we don't overload his mailbox.

There is a reason I like to hold back and see how the mag works for the first month or two before placing an order. I REALLY hope this comes through, though.

Nothing here either.

i pm'd him about a week ago and heard nothing back. we should email him. i hope we didn't get ripped off. it's only $20, but still. and if this falls thru, this'd be the 2nd rotary magazine that flakes out that i've also sent money to

I think he should post a release date here or we should file for chargebacks.

I called the 800 number and spoke with Ryan. He says it is going to print soon and will proof it after 7 stock. I believe he said subscribers should have their copies in approximately 3 weeks after 7 stock. Since I do not recall exactly, just assume you should have your copy sometime between 2-7 weeks

Hey Guys,

End of summer is always a bit of a rush as all the final events are crammed into what seems like an endless string of shows and races. Issue #1 is done, and was sent to pre-press last week. I have the proofs here and just need to upload the changes we made to accommodate adding SevenStock to this issue last-minute. First issues always seem to take forever.

For those that missed us at SevenStock this year, we had a booth and visited with lots of fans and even brought out laser proofs of issue #1 for those that wanted to check it out. Assuming we don't have any issues with this final set of swapped pages, we should be set to get ink-on-paper early next week.

Yup. They'll be inserted in the subscriber copies of issue #1.

They look like this:
