This may not be a "notable publication" to you but for us car enthusiast in Texas it is. I have searched wikipedia for more about the publication before and found nothing... So I gathered info and made one myself. I see wikipedia articles all the time that are written in the second person. Not sure why that's an issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CrisiaJazz (talk • contribs) 12:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. --Kinu ^t/_c 15:14, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If this publication is notable, then the article needs to be improved to establish that by links to independent reliable sources. And by "second person", I assume the nom is referring to phrases such as "car enthusiast[s] are more common than you would think". Wikipedia doesn't know who "you" (the reader) is nor how common "you" think they are. For all I know, the reader might be someone who thinks that every man, woman and child in Texas is a car enthusiast. Similarly, first person plural references such as "Take for example our racing history ..." need to be removed. Wikipedia doesn't get to speak on behalf of the state of Texas or claim that Texas's racing history is "ours". Basically, this article needs to get cleaned up and have references added if it is going to be kept. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:09, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No independent reliable sources have been provided, and I haven't found any myself. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:15, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
