Embrace Your Inner Writer – Help Us With Some Interest Articles
As with most other Rallyists, my time for rally related activities is limited. There are topics that I am sure would be interesting and helpful to our communities of Road Rally and RallyCross, but I don’t have the time , resources, skill or knowledge to tackle them all. With that in mind, maybe you would like to embrace your inner writer waiting to leap out on the pages and write an article for Dirty Cones and Checkpoints.
I’ve included a list of topics I think would be interesting (below), but if it isn’t on the list, it doesn’t mean we are interested … I just didn’t think about it. If you would like to include something on the list, whether you want to write about it or hope someone else will write it, please email me to suggest it. Or you can just write the article and send it in to me.
