Projects have been a tradition for as long as there have been racing magazines. Projects are one of the things that readers, racers and manufacturers all love, so racing magazines (including BDR) will keep doing them.
BDR's first attempt at a magazine project will be called "Project Eldorado." We will have a Cadillac Eldorado built from the ground up. The Eldorado will eventually be raced in PSCA, NSCA, NMCA, NHRA, IHRA and other sanctioning bodies events. It will also be displayed at car shows and other special events.
BDR's project page is one of the most popular pages on the site, thereby ensuring our marketing partners will receive major exposure. We already have commitments from Wes Collins (owner of Nebraska Chassis) and Kris Boesen (Executive Assistant & Marketing Director at Findlay Cadillac). As other marketing partners come on board, their names will be added.
A publisher's dream is a perfect project. Whether the project is an engine or a complete vehicle build-up, the goal is for everyone involved to be fulfilled. A large part of the dream is that every portion of the project works as expected. It would be perfect if everything is completed and/or delivered on time, the parts fit, the modifications work, the completed project performs beyond expectations, and the magazine receives a greatly documented article.
The dream can turn into a nightmare at the drop of a hat. With co-operation and teamwork, BDR will work hard to avoid the "boogey man." The BDR staff will bring you a build-up article. It will include the highs and lows, the exhilaration and excitement, and the trials and tribulations of building the Eldorado. After it is completed, there will be articles detailing it's performance.
So, there you have it, fellow drag racers. The BDR staff has a lot on it's plate, but it looks like we're going to have fun. Stay tuned for updates.
