Flashback to 1997 Sand Scene

I like these old mags. Brings back some good memories. 
Thanks for sharing. 

 
I had no idea there were so many a arm cars out back then. I don't remember ever seeing them unless they were homemade. I remember mid travel beam cars became popular then I started seeing the A arm and other "long" travel cars. SU, Tatum and the Funco hustler designs look remarkably modern. 

 
That’s awesome! I dreamed of(still do) of one day owning a Alumicraft! John was ahead of it back then! 

 
So cool seeing stuff from that era. I only started going to the dunes in 2016. Ton of appreciation for companies that shaped the industry into what it is today.

 
the chassis roundup issues were always very cool. still got all my old sandsports and sand addiction mags from back in the day.

 
I couldn't wait to get the Mag in the Mail, back in those days I had a Johnny Speed and Chrome 2+2 with a 1835cc VW............car was awesome.

 
FUN FUN STUFF , thanks for posting. Not a whole lot of us left  :classic_biggrin:  Early 2000s sand show I think we counted 120 plus sandcar builders. 

Crazy to think how outside the norm the original Big 5 was. I remember spending every weekend in the dunes pulling up to the hill or camps and people laughing their ass off at the look. My reply was ..."I know look how funny it looks , wanna take a ride " Even crazier yet knowing we built 20 Big 5's to every Hustler !

Love it, old magazines like this are the best.

Not all the 7-11's had them, you almost had to get a subscription.
