Just want to give you a "heads up", member to member. One of our local
people has been PAID to write a report on our big January Double National
road race by SportsCar/SCCA. She wouldn't furnish the report for our local
newsletter because of it, so we had no coverage except photos and results.
The way I see it, fair's fair. If they can pay for coverage of a region's
national road race, they can certainly pay reporters for coverage of a
national/once-a-year Solo II event.
