<VV> Re: Beaverun/ Tape Measure

For anyone interested I resized the photos that the photographer at the track took (and shamelessly 
stole Scott's pix of my car) and added them to my Stinger "file" at  

http://fnader.com/images/YenkoStinger/

Now I just need to find the time to do a professional looking website like Scott's!! (Or maybe my goal 
should be an amateurish looking website... anything would be better than what I have!)

Thanks much to all who assisted with my parking lot alignment of my car the evening before the event. I 
ended up solving my mysterious rough running issues by swapping IN an Ignitor in place of the "simple" 
points I was using to make troubleshooting easier! But in the end, I couldn't solve a tire rubbing the 
fender (after I got fast enough to set the suspension) and had to retire early. Still quite a blast... and yet 
another testament to the camaraderie of the Corvair community.

This was my first time on the track on slicks with a "real" engine... and it was an experience unlike 
anything else I've had on the track. But since I only do the occaisional event and no auotcrossing, I've 
realized I will never have an adequately prepared track-only car (unlike a hot street car which I 
continually adjust and modify), so I think the best solution is to sell the track car and work on a street car 
that I can use for a couple track events each year...so if you've ever wanted to go racing with a complete 
car (that only needs some tweaking) this will be one of the easiest ways to get into a car with a race 
history and a long SCCA logbook. I'd sell the car complete, with or without the enclosed trailer, or as a 
complete roller. Would also consider trades (up or down) for a hot street car. Contact me offline for 
details.

Anyway, the real reason for the post is with all of the help I had in the parking lot, tools and parts kept 
appearing from different places. Everything made its way back home except for a tape measure who all 
of the "usual suspects" tell me is not theirs. So if I owe you a tape measure, please contract me and I'll 
forward it back to you.

Thanks again!
