Vintage race cars and
racing are passions for
Martin Rudow. As
editor and publisher
of Vintage Drift
Magazine, Martin retains
a boyish enthusiasm for
all aspects of the sport
to which he has
dedicated nearly a
lifetime.
Martin and his father,
Hal attended almost
every race in the
Pacific Northwest from
1956 through 1961. His
personal heroes where
drivers like Pete
Lovely, Ray Rairdon,
Dave Tatom, Tom Meehan
and others. They
provided the personal
anecdotes for Martin
Rudow's outstanding
northwest racing history
book "Long Straights and
Hairpin Turns".
After the success of
this beautifully
produced book (now sold
out), it become apparent
that a second volume,
covering the years 1962
through 1970 was
required. These where
the years when more
races went on within a
200 mile radius of
Seattle than in any
similar part of the
country. This new book
is aptly titled
"Weekends of Glory".
Just as “Weekends”
covers the great older
days of racing, the
quarterly Vintage Drift
Magazine covers today’s
vintage car racing.
