I think you might have answered yourself here John:
"In other words, they consider 'Hot Rodding' to be
installing off-the-shelf components in configurations
nearly indistinguishable from the others. Giants wheels
and rubber, loud paint and as much Jegs SBC chrome as
can be fitted."

Those are some major advertisers mentioned there imagine the PRH without 
those advertisers. I get from a variety of magazines ad rate sheets, and 
most are not cheap, like back page for instance can easily be $20K. Ironic 
though that PHR mentions the hobby moving forward with cars that are still 
affordable!
