Formula and Racecar Magazine
"Formula" started in October 1973 but early copies are very rare. It acheived wider circulation in 1975 and became the leading sources of US road racing reports and results during the late 1970s. It became "Racecar" in 1979 and finally vanished late in 1980. Vol 7, No 10 October 1980 is the last known edition.
Thanks to a generous loan from David McKinney and very kind donations of spare copies by John Ryan and Lloyd Burkett, OldRacingCars.com has access to a collection that is now only missing approximately 10 copies published between December 1973 and January 1975. A loan of any of these editions would be greatly appreciated; or even scans of relevant race reports. Contact Allen if you can help.
