January 1971 Volume 8 Number 3 issue of Drag Racing USA Magazine , 53 year-old drag racing magazine with 80 pages. Magazine is in good condition. There are no missing pages and there is no cover separation or wear at the spine, but a very small order form has been removed from one of the back pages.  I will include a b&w copy of both sides of the page with the removed order form, that was copied from an identical, complete issue of this magazine.  Magazine will make a terrific addition to someone's collection!!!
