Now would seem to be a perfect time.

Incidentally What does BDOTGNZA stand for?

Brave defenders of the great new zealand arse.

Could do, but i dont think so.... The B is for Beaver, the rest of it will turn up soon enough

[Jantar]

Brave defenders of the great new zealand arse.

Thank you. I had worked out the B...... Defenders Of The Great New Zealand Arse, but it was B..... that had me confused.

[Hitcher]

Nobody expects the B.

Nobody expects the B.

... or the Spanish Inquisition

Everyone is. The magazine welcomes contributions from all NZ motorcyclists.
Many KBers have contributed.

Ross's editorial policy is that it's <- 'our' -> magazine.

Ya got something worth publishing - he would like to know.

So if I sent in a couple of pages about my experiences of starting out in Street stock racing, A Couple of Paragraphs might get published? Or would my writting be so Amateurish that they wouldn't bother reading it?

Any chance a KR journo could come to the Wairarapa Sprints on the 24th Sept ? English wasn't my strongest subject.

Any chance of sponsorship for the event ? Perhaps putting up a years free subscription to KR Mag as a prize ?

Cliffhanger Promo should be posting some info about the event very soon.

Nash is probably the man to chase for coverage - he lives down that way.
I don't have a contact - You'd have to go through Ross - editor@kiwirider.co.nz

The request for a subs prize doesn't sound unreasonable - sponsorship $ are harder to come by - but that is publisher Vege's call.
