A Brief History of

“The Drag Racers Bible”

In March 1979 David Cook Publishing started a magazine title called Dragster Australia; it was a fortnightly newspaper magazine based around Australian Drag Racing and sold for 50 cents a copy.

Things started out a little slow but by year’s end Dragster Australia was considered by Drag Racers and Drag Racing fans Australia wide as “The Drag Racers Bible”

The Magazine then morphed to become a 56 page quarto black & white publication, but then alas, Drag Racing suffered a decline nationally with the closure of Dragstrips in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne.

In 2002 Geoff & Denise Crisp purchased Dragster Australia Magazine from David Cook Publishing and with the onset of the opening of the new Western Sydney International Dragway proceeded to invest over One Hundred Thousand Dollars into new equipment to keep Dragster Australia in the winners circle. A major part of that investment was going to a full colour A4 size 56 page publication.

In March 2009 Dragster Australia will celebrate 30 years of publishing the “The Drag Racers Bible” and apart from a couple of holidays we have never missed an issue, in fact by March 2009 when the 30 year anniversary will be celebrated we will have published over 775 issues, that’s a lot of Drag racing.

So as you continue on the Drag Racing journey remember you only need one thing.
