ahh... gotcha. I misunderstood. Oh well, I kinda did like the thought of Courtney and BMC joining up with Chad and Mike with Primedia lol. All the greats coming together haha... I'll be reading whatever it is they work on, I've always enjoyed Courtney's write-ups.mike

Since were talking Old School here, whatever happened to Mike Shartsis?

Mike Shartsis was in a very bad accident that left him in bad shape but he is slowly recovering. He still stays incontact with us and from time to time checks up on his beloved ///Relaxed Atmosphere that he founded back in the day. Shaun Carlson now racing for Mopar http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2005/drivers/s_Carlson.html and is also an ///RA alumni and we get to see him every so often. Non magazine but also for a bit of history is Sean Mahaney that founded Trendsetter and is also an ///RA alumni is now back to his old tricks and working at West Coast Customs with Ryan Friedlinghaus the owner and also an ///RA alumni. Thats why I love SEMA, get to run into my old pals from here in So Cal that were the God Fathers of the sport.

Here since the begining...

Yeah I miss all the great funny stories of Wyatt and the mazdog..... Yeah what ever happen to that badass Mazda Courtney had renderings of. I think the draiwing was green with a shell and was going to be a convertible.

What the hell happened at Street Trucks(is there even going to be a mag any more)?

I think I remember picking up TRUCKS at a newstand, and it looked like a another Truckin magazine with so many damn ads, but it might have been another mag, can't remember. Hope i'm wrong.

P.S. Any subscription info.

a little bit of history in here, i love it!!! make sure to grab the Feb. issue of MT with a new and improved calendar (including a page dedicated to a few of the ol school trucks that got us where we are today: special thanks to hair bear, brandon, and tito!)

StreetTrucks SHOULD stay around. A new company bought the magazine, and wanted to revamp it a bit to the dismay of the crew that started the mag, so they left.

Trucks will probably still have a lot of ads, but MUCH beter content. It's not a bad magazine, but IMO needs the help of a dedicated, enthusiastic staff. Now that they have it, it should easily move into the realm of the top magazines really quick.

ahhh i see now why kevin was grillin me over memorable old cover rides mike ..
its fun to be in the sport for over 15 years ( thats half my life) and look back at late 80's..early 90's minitruckins. i think brandon, kevin, and I have all of em. since the old school guys like court and brian are lookin on right now i'd like to thank em for years and years of entertainment... and even though we've only met a few times at shows ... i feel like you've all been my family.. gettin me through highschool,the military, countless girlfriends, a marriage , a divorce, a new fiance and a baby...
thanks
