Default Whoo Hoo! Tiburons in Sport Compact Car Magazine!

Granted they are the Libra Rally Racing Tiburons...

Granted they are both up on jack stands without wheels...not like the "action shots" the other cars get....

Damn..I'm pathetic, that this excites me! eek.gif sad.gif

Now I've got something to be excited about. They have a full multi-page article on the Rally tiburon that one of the writers drove to Victory in the Production class (nearly stock). It is a funny read.

They also promise video of the race at their website.

They have the feature still up on their site's homepage, with some great pics of the Tibby in action... the video is there too. That's sweet Random! Hey, you know, we should all be sending in letters and e-mail telling them how much we enjoyed reading that article, and that some more articles on Hyundai would be nice to see... or something to that effect.

If an article gets lots of positive feedback, that tells the editors that there is interest in that area... and believe me that if enough of us do this, the magazine will pick up on it and start putting more Hyundai/Rally stuff in there.

The e-mail should be sportcompactcar@mcmullenargus.com

We also talked to SCC about shooting her car. We talked for a few months and when we finally made a date to shoot it they e mailed me 2 days before the shoot saying something came up.....that was the last email we ever got from them. Too many damn magazines lied to us about her car. Super Street shot it at NOPI last year, took info and never even put it in their magazine. IT was supposed to be one of the feature cars for the NOPI issue. I emailed them asking what happened a few times and never got a response. I don't know why magazines are so worried about putting Hyundais in their magazines. Hopefully this will all change this year at NOPI.......
