Drag Seen Magazine Issue 6 is on sale now.

Available on eBay -item no. 257333826829@

A glovebox sized magazine featuring pages of carefully curated, glorious techni-colour photos of smoking' burnouts, wild wheel stands, wilder racers and trackside drag racing action 'seen' through the lenses of trackside photographers Julian Hunt (Santa Pod), Kenzie Taylor (Street Weekend 2025) and Paul Martin (Santa Pod & MPH Drags 3).

Top scribe Niamh Cawthorne is back, interviewing Steph Milsom about her novice season racing (and breaking) her awesome Model A gasser ‘Blunderbuss’ in Gasser Circus, and a chat with top hot rod artist Jacqueline Davies, about her art and inspirations.

Kenzie Taylor was trackside and hangin’ out of car windows snapping all the action at Street Weekend 2025. And we also have newbie (to Drag Seen) Colin Theobald who documents his weekend adventures from the driver’s seat of ‘Bruce’, his very rapid ’69 Camaro.

Drag Seen Magazine Issue 6 - 87 pages printed on A5 high quality paper and perfect bound with a 300 gsm cover.

It’s over 80 days till all the fun begins again with Festival of Power, so banish those January blues and treat yourself to a copy, as whether you spent last year racing, crewing or eating chips and drinking beer on the bank, a flick through the pages of Drag Seen is guaranteed to trigger great memories and put a smile to your face.

Profits from the sale of the magazine will be donated to the BDR HoF Benevolent Fund & Cancer Research UK and the BDRHOF would like to thank everyone connected both with producing and buying the magazine for their support
