I hate to break it to you, but it's not so new.  Grassroots Motorsports 
covers most aspects of amatuer racing.  From what I have heard, it is 
quite a good mag.  I have wanted to subscribe fro quite some time, but it 
seems to be rather obscure in my area.  Only one ma-n-pa newstand sells 
it, and they only get it once and a while.  I think it is only published 
bi-monthly or something.  I know I have the address somewhere, but never 
got around to subscribing.

Anyone who advocates better driving over better cars is OK in my opinion...

If you're really curious, the autox (autocross) list will give you more 
information about cones and parking lots than you probably want to know.
They can be reached at autox@autox.team.net
To subscribe, send a message to majordomo@autox.team.net with the line 
(in the actual message, not the subject line)  subscribe autox.

I am a member of the list, and any interest in autocross will be well 
supported there.
