JT,
Thanks, it actually was really easy. I wrote up an article for my website and a friend of mine had some more to contribute, so the article ended up being about 2/3 me, and 1/3 him, and I edited the whole thing together. The article is about the Sunray DX Corvette race team. The owner of one of the original cars found it and printed it out. It's the first page in his info binder for his car. I later helped him with some restoration info for his car, and he recognised my name. At the recent NCRS National Convention in Boston a photographer shot a bunch of photos of the car with the idea to do a photo essay, and he forwarded a copy of the printed article to tha magazine. Jay Lamm sent me an email saying that it was very well written, well researched, and asked if he could run it. I just got permission from the co-author, so off we go! It wasn't written to be put in a magazine - it was just for the love of the cars. The article is here:

I encourage constructive criticism - so feel free to let me know what you think.
I would have let him run it for free, but I have no problem with getting paid for it. Ted (co-author) knows it's a paid gig, but I have not told him how much. His jaw is going to be all over the floor when he sees what his half is!
I've written a half dozen or so of the driver bios for Computerworks Cobra site as well. The last time I checked he had only posted two or three of them, though.
