In keeping with their motto, “We Are The Innovators, Not Imitators”, RPM Magazine is excited to announce the official release of the long anticipated RPM E-MAG!
In November, RPM Magazine announced the start of their online “E-publishing” campaign by introducing their E-TECH allowing website visitors to read RPM tech articles, and have now added FULL issues of RPM Magazine, “RPM E-MAGs“… the best part is that you can read them all at www.rpm-mag.com absolutely free!
“We’re very excited about our new E-Publishing project here at RPM,” said RPM Editor in Chief, Chris Biro. “But let me start by saying that we have structured this program so it will not affect our valued subscribers, who will always be the first to get RPM! In fact, the RPM E-MAG will not be published until 45 to 60 days following our newstand ‘On Sale’ date listed on the front of every RPM printed magazine. This will work to actually enhance our subscriber base (now in 26 countries), allowing all-comers to view the quality and exclusive content that only RPM offers, leading to them wanting their own printed copy first… just like all of our current subscribers… because we all know there is nothing like that feeling you get when your new copy of RPM shows up on your doorstep each month!”

Brantford, Ontario – “The action will blow your mind!” Exclaims RPM Editor in Chief Chris Biro. “The adrenalin and presence of the power of this sport that Brian Hansen brings through his 10” Wide Racing videos is second to none. We’ve developed a strong relationship with Brian and his video production company since first meeting him through his “grassroots” event (The 10″ Wide Racing Cruise 2010), as featured in our October 2010 issue. His intense passion for the sport of extreme drag racing along with his professionalism and quality that he puts into his video work has been a “thumbs up” experience for RPM… the bottom line, if you love the high-horsepower, on-the-edge insanity of Outlaw Drag Racing, YOU NEED TO BUY THESE VIDEOS!”

Gary Mater’s Wild Ride at RPM Magazine Power Fest
GRAND BEND, ONTARIO – Gary Mater took a wild ride during round 2 of Pro Modified qualifying at the RPM Family Power Fest. The twin turbo mount left straight at the hit but drifted toward the centerline as he closed in on the 1/8 mile finish line on his 5.113 133.29 MPH run. It looked like he had the car gathered up when it turned left into the retaining wall at about the 1100 foot mark. Gary was uninjured in the incident. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for his beautiful 37 coupe!
