To all D.C. Region members, we're looking for content on 2009 MARRS races for the "Straightpipe" magazine. They could be write ups about your race, your buddy's race or just a race you were interested in, or pictures you took from the race weekend.
Or if you'd like to volunteer to cover future races, that would be even better.
What we are NOT looking for is a race recap that looks like it was written by going over the official results. We'd be more interested in some of the "stories behind the stories" such as the guy who wrenched all night to get the car ready for a race, or more detailed stories from the race that may not necessarily involve the front runners, you know, more human interest stuff.
So far, we've had one submission from an IT racer from the first MARRS race at Summit Point, and nothing else from the club racing side. I can already hear all the complaints from road racers when the next "Straightpipe" is full of autocross articles and pictures. :)
