The loss of Kit Car Magazine is unfortunate, but its just one of many dominos that will fall. I'll bet their advertising dollars have just evaporated. How many of their advertisers have gone out of business? Why buy a subscription when the internet web site was free! The subscriber base has eroded over time with the onset of the internet. Most of our replica manufacturers are "small businesses," and don't enjoy the financial resources to withstand the current economic stresses. The picture of our hobby this time next year will be much different than it is now. All the automotive magazines are suffering; Autoweek is down to 48 pages, Road & Track is down to 120 pages. 2009 is going to be ugly for all of us...a big mess that's going to hurt a lot of people!
