Looks as if spring issue is in the works.

Any plans for a second issue? Several Rotary Speed customers at rx8club.com are curious.
Thanks,

Adam,
Thanks for checking. We're still expecting to do a spring printing, but don't have the exact date scheduled with the printer yet. Ryan's doing an update of the website and as he completes that he said he'd be posting the current information there so subscribers would know what's happening with the next issue.
Thank you,

I see they updated their web site. At this point I would be hesitant recommending anyone subscribe because they are too slow getting issues published and sent out on time. I hope they get this turned around and start producing as advertised. If they get the next couple of issues out in a timely fashion then I'll consider renewing my membership.
As many have noticed, Summer is almost here and issue #2 of Rotary Speed Magazine has not yet arrived. What's up with that? Yes, the economy is crap. We all know that. There are two businesses that have been hit particularly hard by this downturn: cars and magazines. Hey, guess what? Yeah.
Not to despair! After months of development we have a plan that will work even in these dire times. You will get your issues and we think you're going to be blown away by the next Rotary Speed issue. Yes, blown away. Imagine standing in the middle of of Mazda Raceway as a rotary-powered ALMS car passes you at over 100mph on the straight-away -- coming within inches of smashing your toes. Yes, that kind of blown away.
That's all we're going to say right now. The new issue is in progress. It's going to rock. If you're not already a subscriber, sign up today to start with #2 when it ships.

i would actually warn people against subscribing to it. i've been in this situation before and i know how hard it is to run and print a magazine, but once you take people's money you better have a long and consistent business plan. 4 issues a year = quarterly? from the way it is now it looks like it'll be more like twice a year, if even that

I read what is says on their web site and posted it in this thread on June 6th. Their 1st issue arrived late October 2008 so after 10 months I did not have a lot of hope.

I don't mind the thing going under (almost expected - not the smartest time to try and release a small niche mag) but the least these ****'s can do is drop a line to the paying customers who invested in their one thin issue.
Oh well, who needs it when you have RX8club to keep you informed.

so i got an issue of grassroots motorsports, where apparently my remaining subscription has been transferred. rotary speed went under, what a surprise (along w/ the miata mag). the issue has a nice article on robert davis racing and their rx-8 campaign. i'm now hooked to this mag, it's pretty good!
