New Magazine RoadRacerX

[tigerblade]

Just picked up a copy at lunch today.  They claim that they'll have regular columns from Nicky, Colin, Randy Mamola, and Don Emde.  Haven't gotten into the articles yet.  Looks like a more focused version of Motorcyclist from first appearances.

Is RacerX owned by Petersen Publishining?  Or were they bought out by some English company?

Don't get me wrong I don't think this magazine could ever replace a roadracing world, as far as detailed information, or even for honest opinons of new products, I've never seen a mag trash so many potential advertisers. ;D  I just like the idea of a new racing mag. that will be on shelves of stores other than cycle shops.  
The mag is being put together by the same people who do racerX the motocross mag.  Which imho is the best MX mag out there, if they can put the same type of effort into roadracing, I think it could be good.  Really besides RRW, there's no real coverage of any roadracing, that I know of, Cycle news might have a page, cycle world maybee a paragraph.  The more motorcycle racing coverage we can get the better, it can only help

Personally, I doubt that this mag will do it.  I'm betting they are going after a big show, international road racing mag look.

Translation: I hope this magazine does well. Anything to help our sport reach more people. ;D

Hey, did anyone see the article about Jason Pridmores Star School, titled "Learning Curves"?
I wonder if Rick Breuers seen it?

I pointed the pic of Rich Alexander out to my buddies. "That's the guy who told me I was getting too much lean angle!"   ;D
