Just received my new edition of PFM in the mail. Flicked through it and found an ad for Drag Tag proudly stating that they are the new venue for the All Ford Nats. When I read Andrew Berry's column it confirms that the Nats will be dyno drags, power runs and the show and shine at Drag tag Campbellfield. I am disappointed to say the least. I have been considering not renewing my subscription for a while, my decision has now been made for me.

I received an email from Heathcote, they had such an uproar that they will hold the Fordnats themself, good work Heathcote raceway.
Sounds like Dragtag have made PFM an offer they can't refuse ? |

Australian Muscle Car magazine is the only magazine i never miss. Only buy PFM or Street Machine if its got an XP article in it, don't bother otherwise.

This is the actual mail Hi Everyone, The All Ford Nationals was cancelled last month by Andrew Berry but due to many Racer's requests we have decided to Put it back on the Calender and Run the event ourselves. Details and entry forms coming soon. Cheers Joanne |

I for one would love to bring the sledgehammer down there, should be finished by then, and theirs no way I would consider "playstation racing" a substiute, well done Heathcote, I have a soft spot for the track there, being near the old home town.

good on heathcote raceway. they know what a racer wants and they give the racer what they want. drag tag can bugger off, they are over priced, id rather spend my 800 odd dollars ( cant remeber the subscription price) on fuel to get to and from calder or heathcote to race, and if i want to dyno my car i'll just go down to mikes dyno or another mob that do dyno tuning/ power urns etc

It just goes to show you what PFM think of there reader base, considering the turn out they had last year. I would like to here what they have to say about it all. It is good to hear the the Heatcoate people have taken it on though. Bj

Every professional sportsperson has that moment when they know it's time to give the game away, often referred to as a watershed. It may be due to injury or because they just aren't enjoying the sport any more like they used to, in some cases they perform well below their best week in week out and then there are those who find their decisions are giving the opposition an easy leg up. Sometimes they just wake up one day and look in the mirror thinking, why am I doing this...
