With pictures the problem is copyright, most places tend to not want to give out pictures and the last thing you want to do is steal. Like I keep saying to everyone if you are going to a race PM me I would love to put the pictures in the articles.

I'll give it some thought
I always got A's in English on anything I wrote so I could try to apply it to something else.
I'm still a sucker for a writing prompt though, I was never good at those creative writing things. Any ideas?

I tried that with f1-live and formula1.com. I talked to some big shots within the F1 administration and they said sadly they cannot do anything at this time. Unless they ok we can't use anything. The pictures you see are from sources we can use. Sadly they are mainly Honda based so you'll only see Honda related pictures.

Kill stories will not come back so you really are climbing the wrong tree.

Honda does not represent street racing. Many people think they do and I really don't think HAN wants to open itself to these people. While most of you were still playing with matchbox cars I was learning about Honda and its deep roots in racing. From the all winning McLaren Honda that Senna (RIP) drove to many victories to the amazing performance of Honda in bikes and IRL. The image of Honda has been tainted by today's youth who think anyone driving a car with the H emblem is a street racer and taunts them. We have in the process forgotten about the company that took its racing technology and gave it to the consumers. I happen to represent a small part of the population who would love to see more intelligent conversation pieces, I know a good bit about racing history but I am no connoisseur. I know Honda is doing great across the pond in the UK in BTCC but I seldom see posts by the members in England or Europe about that. (They are 2nd in the constructor's championship, only 90 pts behind Vauxhall.)

Don't foget the history of the cars you drive. All the modifications you do came field tested from years back at the track. In today's world image is everything and ever since a certain movie came out the image of Honda and imports in general has been tarnished. Don't let people come up to you and tell you that you are a ricer, instead tell them you drive a car that has dominated every major racing event from open wheel cars, motorbikes to touring cars.

My 2 cents, take it for what its worth.

OK I took a good look at the front page and I see a few things that I would suggest.

The main page is unbalanced horribly. It is flooded with only Formula racing highlights, this is great if you are into it and all but I know many really don't follow it that much. New press releases, vehicle changes from Honda, recall listings (yes they happen), or general new items would be a big plus so it gains everyones interest and doesn't only cater to the race junkies who probab;y already have the Formula info.

You are doing a great job on the articles I just think more balance is needed on the front page.
