You probably flipped to this page just to see how to win a free carburetor. Hope you didnt think there was no work involved, because the carburetor giveaway is just a thinly veiled ploy to get you to take the time to fill out this readership survey. We want your help in our never-ending quest to produce the greatest gearhead magazine on the planet, and this survey is your chance to tell us a bit about yourself and what you like and dislike about both cars and Car Craft magazine. We hope that you think the magazine is close to perfect as is, but we also want your opinions about what youd like to see more or less of in these pages in the future. The first 50 readers who send in their surveys will get a free Car Craft license plate just like the ones we use on our feature cars, and one lucky winner, to be drawn randomly from all entries received by the March 5, 2002, deadline, will receive a brand-new Holley Street Avenger 670-cfm carburetor. So sharpen your No. 2 pencil and get to work! And rememberwe must receive your completed form by March 5, 2002, for you to be eligible to win the carb.
