I don't think the payroll had anything to do with it. I think that mag was just a dog in terms of sales. That is why all the other musclecar mags folded. We may like MCR but most other hobbyist will not buy it unless it is all Mopar, all Chevy etc. The same reason why the Musclecar Nationals etc never took off. I was the Director of the NMCA back in '90-'92 before the hard core racing bit took over. We found out through many surveys/events/trial and error etc that only a small segment of the hobby want to see cars of different makes other than their own. That is why shows like Super Chevy, Mopar Nationals, Ford Nationals are so popular. There will never be a large show with musclecars like the Street Rod Nationals that pull in 14-15K cars. Will never happen. Too much animosity between the makes. Also most hobbyist only have so much money/time to spend. They will hit their cars marque show before all others.
