I have about 10 copies in my office right now... BIG bummer... And many more at home still.
I did my part in keeping them going over the last 5 years.....
Glad I made the January Issue with flare. Would have been nice to have had prior notice about that !

Bummer, I liked that mag. Sure, it went through it's JDM show-car madness phase but there were some really interesting project cars and some very good tech articles.

Wow

Sport Compact was the first and only mag that had my '85 IROC on the the cover and featured an article on autox at Irvine Meadows with pictures of my car and David Jansen battling it out in FS.

Sorry to see SCC go but to be honest the magazine went seriously downhill when Coleman & Jacqout left and I have not bought more than an issue or two per year since.

I've got a couple of friends who used to work there, one still does video for Source Interlink.
In its heyday about 10 years ago the book pushed 300 pages.
