CRA Promotional Video…NHY

Posted: May 7, 2013 by Secretary in Announcements, Media Coverage

NHY (Not Here Yet).

Hey Everyone,

The CRA would like to develop a promotional video over the 2013-2014 season(s). We are looking for experienced volunteer(s) to help put together video footage and still photography into a comprehensive promotional video. We are NOT looking for an amateur production. We would like this to be TV commercial quality, which could be broadcast on local TV or used for events like the IMS and other highly visible motorcycle shows.

If you have experience in this field and would like to help the CRA organization, please contact:

Secretary@cra-mn.com

Thanks much,

Sincerely,

CRA BOD.

Please review the proposed 2013 Contingency form. Changes for this year include:

  • A fillable PDF format, allowing you to enter in the details on your computer and print out to take to the track.

  • Updated the language for the “Directions” section to reflect the column changes.
