MazdaSport Magazine wanting to feature DGRR...

I just recieved an email from someone at MazdaSport Magazine..

This is what they wrote:


Phil -

I'm really interested in your event at Deal's Gap - do you have
anyone in your
club who could take a boatload of pictures, and then write up about
1500-2000
words about the event for the magazine? It's too late for the
current issue, but
I'd love to run a big feature on your event later in the year.

We want pics of people having fun, great pics of cars *moving*
against the
excellent Dragon backdrop, and pics of the whole gathering - like
from on top
of a building. Can you do that?
So, someone want to volunteer for this?? Anyone with any experience in writing?

PHIL

I'd be happy to take high res pics with my Canon SLR. I don't mind the write up, but it may be more appropriate to come from someone who knows the group a little more than I do.

Need some assistance on the photos. While on a small family vacation recently, I had my camera bag stolen. In it were all my filters, extra lenses and other equipment. Luckily I had the digital Canon out of the bag at the time. (Unfortunately, it doesn't take much of a lens to be worth more than the camera body.)

In short, I'll take pics in the parking lot but action shots on the Dragon need a better zoom. I know Killboy will be out there some of the time. Are there any budding photographers willing to submit photos? I don't want to disappoint anyone.

Nice video BUT?

Doesn't anyone stop at a full stop sign any more? There is a full stop sign in my area that if the police where to sit there they would get writers cramp from writing some many tickets.

Hey there Phil:

Someone needs to volunteer for this again. (Short write up w/ pictures)

My instincts were correct that I can't make it. Monday morning, I leave for a business trip to Seoul Korea, Dalian China and then Tokyo Japan with a return on the 25th.

I'd been looking forward to DGRR for months.
