<VV> RE: [fastvair] 2005 conventions

[BEllison@bbafiberweb.com]

Barry Ellison here... Corsa SC, NW SC area.
 
Was it Bill Hubbell, or Norm Witte, on Virtual Vairs, recently discussing
one in Virginia somewhere?  I couldn't find the thread.
 
Besides the autocross suggested, what else is in a mini?  Does it have full
concours, people's choice, Ed Cole/Mitchell award, rally, econorun, vendors,
and the most important... AUTOCROSS?  Is it a full national with just fewer
entrants?  I would expect that to be the goal.
 
Portland, is probably just too far for me and my immediate family to go.
($1800 (current prices) in gas for the RV to tow the vair with a 5 yr old
child... Nope - not happening)  Can't speak for my older brother, this
year's Don Yenko winner  !!!! ... nor my father.  I think my father is also
opting out of Portland, simply due to the distance.
 
Don't get me wrong - would love to drive thru the area, but 3 wks off next
year ain't in the plans.
 
I _might_ be able to fly there, but alone.  (Might even get work to pay for
it - weeeeeee!)
