BSCC- Interesting Corvair event in So. Carolina this fall

[C. Raia]

Dear Corvair Friends,

It's been almost forty-nine years since the Corvair was introduced and 
cars haven't been the same since. Neither have race tracks, twisty 
roads, and other automobile venues.

Never before have people had so much fun driving their cars. Corvairs 
have run virtually every race track and roadway in the world: Daytona, 
Bristol, Pocono, Lime Rock, Summit Point, and VIR, not to mention Road 
Atlanta, Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen, and Elkart Lake. They've dared the 
Darien, won rallye championships, road racing championships, the 
Mobile Gas Economy Run, drag racing crowns, and even conquered Chimney 
Rock, Eagle's Nest, and other hill climb venues.

There's only one road yet to challenge the Corvair; one frontier left; 
one adventure to go.

On the weekend of Saturday, November 15th, and Sunday, November 16th, 
2008, after the Indy Corvair Olympics, Eagle's Nest, Crow Mountain, 
the Runoffs, the Fall Affair, St. Augustine, and the nineteenth annual 
"Corvairs in the Curves", the guys and gals of CORSA South Carolina 
will take you there...

The last adventure...

The last frontier...

The final challenge....

The Tail of the Dragon

Are you up to it?

Can you stand the fun?

"Corvairs Drive the Tail of the Dragon"

The Tail of the Dragon is an incredible road that has been written up 
in all of the car and motorcycle magazines. It has 318 curves in 11 
miles. Yes, 318 curves in 11 miles!!!

It is located South of Knoxville, Tennessee, at the Southwest edge of 
the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, near Fontana Lake. It is 11 
miles of Hwy 129 going from North Carolina into Tennessee.

Go to:    http://www.tailofthedragon.com/   and look around. Be sure 
and look at the Event Calendar to see all the other marques that have 
events here; everything from Ferraris to Miatas and now.... Corvairs!!!

We will be staying at the Fontana Village Resort, where we have a 
great rate on rooms and cabins. Go to:   http://www.fontanavillage.com/

We will also be taking in Fontana Dam and the $100,000,000 Cherohala 
Skyway which, along with the Dragon, is rated as one of the great 
drives in our country:   http://www.cherohalaskyway.com/

"Corvairs Drive the Tail of the Dragon" is not a race or a rallye. It 
is just a good time with your Corvair friends driving these beautiful 
roads, visiting with each other, and kicking tires.

November 15, 2008. Circle it on your calendar. "Corvairs Drive the 
Tail of the Dragon". The moon will be nearly full and the air will be 
cool. The sinuous curves of The Tail of the Dragon beckon. Plan to 
come if you're near to us. Wish you could, if you're not.
