The Journal of Motorsport Culture & History is the academic, scholarly journal that many of us have long discussed and wished for and dreamed about for ages. The editor-in-chief, Dr. Mike Stocz, is a faculty member at the University of North Alabama, located in Florence, Alabama, USA. Whereas others have toyed with this idea and gotten nowhere, Mike and the others -- managing editor, Dr, Alonzo Maestas, University of New Mexico, associate editors Dr. Mark Howell, Northwestern Michigan College and Timothy Robeers, University of Antwerp -- have pushed forward and are making this a reality. Mike, Mark, and Timothy have all been presenters at the Michael Argetsinger Symposium at Watkins Glen, Mark being one of our stalwart supporters and a longtime friend.
This is a For Real Journal.
There are no end of people here on this forum who have research efforts that should be in the journal. In addition, there are those her who could assist as referees for submitted articles, assisting with the peer-review process.
I cannot thank Mike, Alonzo, Mark, and Timothy for the hard work it has taken to just get it to this point. They persisted where the rest of us faltered.
Full disclosure: I am a member of the editorial board of the JMSCH.
