"Before you read any further, please understand that this story isn't for everyone. Unlike every other DSport editorial, you are not going to learn how to make your car faster or make you car perform better. Instead, you are going to get a look behind the scenes at the politics and mechanics behind the import performance scene. If you're not interested skip ahead. We've added pages just to make sure you weren't cheated. If you would like to understand the industry from an insider's viewpoint, follow along. The following is about to be the tale of the evolution of both import performance magazines and organized import drag racing."
"While 2003 would serve as a year of success for DRAG Sport, the Big Three (Sport Compact Car, Import Tuner and Super Street) would see significant drops in subscriptions and single-copy sales. According to a FasFax analysis, the three titles would lose between 10 to 15-percent of their subscriber base while single-copy sales would slide between 10 and 17 percent. Ironically, advertising rates for the PRIMEDIA titles would continue to rise. PRIMEDIA advertisers would be paying considerably more to get considerably less."
So now its a couple of years later , I wonder where Dsport sits on this. I think Dsport is still doing well. Well enough for a small book vs the huge conglomerate that was Primedia, but is now Source Interlink.
