The next "issue" of Focus Fanatic will be a 16-page section in the July '06 issue of 5.0&SF.

Above is the "cover" for the section (which does feature JetFest '05 coverage). Below is the cover of 5.0&SF so keep an eye out for this issue.

this is the death of the mag, its geared toward the sport compact crowd, yet bundled with a mustang magazine. Of which Mustang people dislike the focus!

Hey, they took that pic at JetFest at the end of day1 after everyone left. The editor let us see the pics.
That sucks that this is just a "sub" magazine.

16 pages? that's not a magazine it's a brochure :(

this sucks, i guess me buying 10 copies each time wasn't enough.

So... 16 pages, and 12 will be Focus ads?

Too bad, but I guess it was inevitable. Mainstream media can't figure out how to deliver to the fragmented internet generation. Same reason I have to get my WRC coverage online.

It's simply a case of not enough ad revenue accompanied by distribution issues. The magazine business is UBER difficult. The failure rate is extremely high.

July issue - so in magazine speak that mean's it's probably out next week or something right?

And man - he did drive the tires of that thing. And a pretty cool guy to talk to also. Here's my favorite part of his car - on the bottom of the hatch so you can only see it when it's open:
