Opinion:[ BH ] Recommended for fans of Bonneville/Land Speed type
racing. It covers Bonneville, El Mirage, even Lake Gairdner in
Australia! Quite a few photos, even a few in colour! [ BD ] This is
is a family-run publication. The publishers name is Doc Jeffries, and
the editor is Wendy Jeffries. Doc is an icon and I believe that most
of the family are 200 MPH Club Life Members. They are great people to
talk to.

Opinion:[ AHH ] Concentrates on tuning and modification of cars for
circuit racing, rallying or road use. The technical articles aren't
very deep. [ PF ] Aimed more at the fast but cheap road-car
enthusiast, and written in a fairly lighthearted tone, there are some
interesting motorsport articles in here, but racing fans would be
better going for the more authoritative Racecar Engineering.
