Evolution
Editor’s Rant – May Issue 2012 EVOLUTION Never being the ones to sit still and wait, copy the moves of others, or just go on and on in the same way without shaking things up once in a while, RPM Magazine has again reached a new level within the Performance, Race and Motorsports Magazine industry. [...]
Instantly Hooked!
Often times, in what has become such a fast paced “now” world, where years pass by as months once did, we can hopefully find the time to look back and think of those people who have somehow impacted our lives, opened our eyes to something new, given us direction at some point, and maybe done [...]
How Time Flies!
WOW, as I say every year at this time…when you love what you do, time really does fly! And at RPM MAGAZINE, we DEFINITELY love what we do! That being said, going into this our final issue for 2011 I’d like to make my usual comments and reminders. First, all of us here at RPM [...]
Due Diligence
October 2011 Due Diligence by definition when Investing is; the Duty of the investor to gather necessary information on actual or potential risks involved in an investment.

In fact, this pink haired abomination is actually Ray Knight (AKA Raymond, or SVA Power Products Ray). Ray has been with RPM since day one and has been [...]
Traditional vs Trendy
First, let me say that I don’t appreciate when a writer has their Dictionary and Thesaurus always in hand in an attempt to talk above or mystify his/her readers with their wordsmithing abilities. With that in mind, I will keep this short and to the point. So what is trendy? A word that first started being [...]
FAST CARS! That’s, “CARS”…
This “Rant” all came about through a recent “debate”, so to speak, about the usual “my motorsport is better than yours” stuff. You know the one, and I am sure many of you are involved in something similar more often than not. What is a car? Simply a motorized machine with four wheels and the [...]
The Cover
The cover of RPM, or any magazine for that matter, is probably one of the most important parts of it. Remember the saying, “you only get one shot at a first impression?” Any business today that does not believe that to be true better hit the “Business 101” books again! Our cover is our first [...]
