Grassroots Motorsports joins NAM with a free trial issue!


As many of you know Grassroots Motorsports has been prepping, racing, and writing about the MINI since 2002. I'm happy to welcome GRM to the site as our newest vendor. Be sure to check out the cover shot of the April issue....another great H Stock MINI Cooper!. If you haven't heard of GRM here is a quick description provided by the team there:

THE HARDCORE SPORTS CAR MAGAZINE

Grassroots Motorsports takes you inside the world of sports car
driving, racing, autocrossing and rallying. You’ll get earthy “how-to”
articles packed with practical, real-world tips to restore, modify and
improve your car. And, unlike other magazines that seem fixated on one make or model, Grassroots Motorsports covers the entire world of enthusiast cars, from classic Porsches and Triumphs to race-prepared Acuras and BMWs.



Join me in welcoming GRM to the site!

Mark

My motormouth friend has given me several copies. Very in-depth racing related stuff, not bling hype. The budget challenge cars are great!

GRM is fantastic! A long time ago (maybe 7-8 years) I had helped my buddy compete in one of their $1000 challenge cars. I can say that the editors and staff at GRM are true car enthusiasts... a pleasure to deal with!

I hope this means more MINI coverage! I've enjoyed GRM for years, but since getting the MINI, it doesn't seem like there's been much related content. Enjoyed the build-up articles a couple of years ago, and still pick up an ocasional issue now and then. When does the pictured April issue hit the news stands? Obvious MINI content there!

It's being shipped now to subscribers.

You'll actually notice more MINI coverage in the past few issues as well. We've got project car content with my car on our website...

Just Requested Free Issue

After reading through this thread, I see that it is well worth my time to check out the magazine. I just submited my online request, but was hoping that it might be possible to receive the April issue instead of the next published issue. Looking forward to great reading.

That's interesting. On the link at the top of this thread, it states for US only. But on their website, I did as you probably did. Just enter your information.

I just applied. It'll be interesting to see if it arrives.
By the ways, the June issue is at my local store already. The issue with the MINI on the cover was April's issue.
