It's Official!! I'm a published writer!
Woo hoo! I have an article published in the January issue of Corvette Magazine!
They have posted the article here, but the mag has pics with much better resolution.
http://www.corvette-mag.com/art2/art2p1.html
Ok, so it's about Corvettes, but at least they are L88s. 
The autograph queue starts now...

What was that about using this forum as a soap box?

Congratulations Steve,
I don;'t take the magazine so can't read the article in it, but any time you get an article published it makes it easier for a follow up. I would like your autograph in 24 karat gold script mounted on a solid walnut background.

Yep, I got paid. I got an email from Jay Lamm asking if he could run it, and telling me what they would pay for it. I probably would have let them run it for free.
The only political stuff has to do with racing and a corporate buyout.
Ron,
The link I posted goes to an online version of the article. It's racing history, not political stuff. They have some good historical pics as well.
Harold,
I have written Cobra stuff - I've done all the long-winded driver bios over at Computerworks cobra site. He hasn't posted the last two I sent, so I've not bothered to write any more. The majority of Cobra guys seem less interested in history that the Corvette guys (though the Corvette guys history emphasis is mostly on stock). I think it's due to the fact that the majority of Cobras are still new.
Steve

Congrats, especially since you were paid. Being published is nice, but being paid is mucho better 
I used to write magazine articles on very technical subjects when I was working, and the company paid $150 per magazine page. So I always made sure there were plenty of sketches and pictures.
It's always nice to see your name in print. Keep up the good work.

Its a good article,its always good to read about the history of the Cobra`s also,if your articles were not put on csxinfo then I dont blame you for not writing anymore.
What do you mean that the majority of Cobra`s are still new ....?

Well, there are about 1000 original Cobras that are 40+ years old. There are how many thousands of replicas that are a lot newer than that? Most replica owners that I have talked to actually know very little about the real history of the original Cobras. Just an observation based on my experience.

Contrats Steve. It takes a little to get published.
