Custom Car Magazine
History
Custom Car magazine was first published in March 1970
and to the drag racing deprived fans of the era was a breath of
fresh air. With its generally irreverent and rebellious early
style, it quickly took the opportunity to cover the recently
established drag racing scene, with full reports from both the UK
and US. Regular features on cars of the era were included along
with news and rumours not to mention the magazine's own cartoon
superhero, Super CC.
The Custom Car shows at Crystal Palace and Alexandra
Palace took place, starting in 1972, for over ten years. Custom
Car magazine's support for our sport over the years has
remained undiminished and in recent years has expanded to
sponsorship of events and class sponsorship. Under current editor
Dave Biggadyke it has had a new lease of life with even more drag
racing coverage and support promised for 2007. Importantly,
Custom Car magazine has been the only UK drag
racing-related periodical to appear consistently on the high street
for over thirty five years.
