0-60 (Fall 2007 - Winter 2011). Published by Harris Publications and editor Brian Scotto, it was a high quality magazine covering performance-modified foreign compacts, sports and exotic cars. Readers appreciated the sleek layout and good design. Mr Scotto started in Fall, 2007 and published either quarterly or bi-monthly. We believe about two dozen issues were printed. When print ended, it went to an online version. |

Auto-X (1984 - ??). This title was originally started in 1984 in Deland, Florida by publisher Tim Suddard and his wife Margie. It was later re-titled to Grassroots Motorsports. |
|
Badge Bar Journal (1954 - 1958). This title was published by Alden W. Wintringham and Motoringham Ltd from San Rafael, California. We believe there were 51 issues printed. |

California Sportscar (1979? - 1985?). Other than the obvious content based on the title, little is known about this magazine. It was printed in a newspaper style format. |
|
Classic Motorsports (July 2003 - present). The title was started by Tim Suddard, who also publishes Grassroots Motorsports. British Car was re-titled to Classic Motorsports, and it became the official magazine of the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) and the Historic Motor Sports Association (HMSA). Numbering continued from its predecessor. |
|
Grassroots Motorsports (1984 - present). This was re-titled from Auto-X magazine and is still published as of 2025. Publisher Tim Suddard started the magazine because he felt that other car magazines focused too much on the wealthiest people. He wanted to create a magazine for people who enjoyed working on and playing with common sports cars. Content covers the entire world of amateur motorsports. From autocrossing to vintage racing to rally, if it's sports-car oriented, GRM covers it! In addition to its earthy "How-to" do-it-yourself articles, many feature cars and product tests, GRM covers motorsports action from around the country. |

Long Island Sports Car News (1968 - ??). A small independent print publication covering Long Island, New York racing activities. |
|
Sports Car Market (1989 - present). This covers the buying, selling, and collecting of classic and sports cars. It is published by Keith Martin Publications based in Portland, Oregon. Mr. Martin started in 1988 with a newsletter called Alfa Romeo Market Letter. It morphed five years later to Sports Car Market Letter. The first full-color cover came in 1995, and later he dropped "letter" from the title. |
|
The Stopwatcher (1964 - 1970?). With the tag line, "Weekly Sentinel for the Sports Car Set", the title covered news and racing events in the Mid-Atlantic area. It was published from Bethesda, Maryland and printed in a newspaper style format. |

Top Wheels (1986? - 1990?). Self-labeled as "The Ultimate Luxury Automobile Magazine", this title was published by Best Car Publishing Company in New York City. It featured sports cars and exotics, and distribution appears to have been in both the U.S. and U.K. |
