Do you like to write? You could help cover
the Solo Nationals for SportsCar Magazine, and it counts as your worker credit. The ideal situation is drivers who plan to
be there for all four days of Nationals. You can cover classes on the days you
do NOT run, leaving you free to focus on your competition on your run days.
Most needed are Tuesday-Wednesday drivers staying over who can cover
Thursday-Friday classes. But anyone who wishes to apply is encouraged to do so,
including drivers just there for the two days they run. No one should have to write up more than two
classes or cover classes in more than two heats (Open and Ladies are considered
one class for story purposes). The basic job is to be there when the classes
are running, talk to a couple of the key players, then write a story of about
500 words (likely after you get home). Writing talent is secondary -- the eyes
and ears of the reporters are what is most valuable. If you can be part of the crew this year,
please send me a direct e-mail
(rocky@spitfire4.com) telling me: 1. Your
name 2.
Mailing address 3.
Phone numbers (home, work, cell) 4.
e-mail address 5. Your
class, days you run [see schedule below] 6. What
day you plan to arrive/leave Lincoln 7. Any
preferences for classes you'd like to cover 8.
Second choice for event work assignment in case I can't use you as a writer.
I’ll reply confirming I got your e-mail, then you’ll hear from me next
after Aug. 17 when the run/work order comes out, which is when I can make the
story assignments. Registration is open now at www.scca.com/events/1981888-2016-tire-rack-solo-national-championship-presented-by-garmin-virb When you reach
“Preferred Work Assignment” scroll down to “Other” and write in “SportsCar
Writer.” If you've already sent your entry and
checked off some other worker preference, just let me know what you checked. I
can get it changed. Hope to hear from you soon!
