As we are currently wrapping up the May issue of Wolf Motorsports Magazine and are already in planning stages for the June Issue, we recognize that we are also completing the 5th year of production of the magazine here in Hot Rod Haven at the Headquarters of Wolf Motorsports Magazine! Where has time gone? This 5 years has been some of the best years of my life, we ve met so many nice people out at the shows, hot rod shops and gear head gatherings across the US. We ve received so much support from each and every one of you and I want to say Thank You, even though that doesn t quite get it. Words cannot express how very appreciative we are of all our family, friends and subscribers World-Wide who tune in each month to see what we have in store for you. We also look forward to providing cool stuff for you to check out on Facebook! We strive to produce an entertaining, enjoyable and informative online publication each and every month and try not to cater to any specific make or model or type of automobile! We take all feedback that we get very seriously and constantly wrack our brains to come up with new content to ensure that we do not ever get to be boring. For the 6th Anniversary Issue we ve added a new section to the magazine called Wide Whitewalls Cruisin Cuisine in which we ll talk about, show pictures of, tell stories about and even provide what I hope to be valuable information when you guys and gals are looking for top quality food to eat while you re out on your automotive journeys!

To discuss quarter mile elapsed time of a car based on a list of modifications or horsepower estimate. 2. To discuss the estimated output (in horsepower) of one engine versus another based on lists of modifications done to each engine. 3. To discuss the estimated output (in horsepower) of one engine versus another based on lists of modifications done to each engine. Subscribe to Wolf Motorsports Magazine?

Thank you for your interest and support!!! Jeff Wolf Motorsports Magazine While I do agree with the Urban Dictionary s definition of Bench Racing, Bench Racing in the context of this section of the magaine will be defined as: 1. Discussion of ANYTHING automobile related between at least two individuals with the goal of passing time at a car show, sharing automotive related ideas, opinions or entertaining themselves or others. Please feel free to share your bench race session wtih the readers by ing: benchracing@wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com You ever have one of those times? You ever have one of those times where you get home from a rough day at work and you want to rest but yet you end up on the phone bench racing all evening until time to go to bed? Well, it s always nice to rest, however, bench racing to me is just like resting! The majority of my bench racing takes place over the phone as most of my hot rod buddies are all out of town. I certainly enjoy that time. Every minute of it. I m not sure there is ever a time in which there could be too much bench racing. With modern technology such as smart phones it makes very easy as we can text, talk and send photos of our topics in a matter of seconds. What is frustrating though is when you really want to have a great bench racing session and share photos or text and your smart phone s battery is about to die or your cell signal isn t strong enough. Well I want to wish everyone a very nice and safe Memorial Day weekend! WMM Let s Bench Race!!! benchracing@wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com
