<VV> TCC draws first blood in Portland (and other news)

[Bill Hubbell]

Helen Smith's "CorBear Angel" won the Valve Cover Race in Portland tonight, 
giving the first trophy awarded at this convention to a Tidewater Corvair 
Club member!  Walter and Smitty also did very well before losing in the late 
rounds.

Yay Helen!  We love ya!

Welcome to CORSA's newest chapter - #010 Stock Corvair Group, just given 
final approval today.  First meeting to be held Friday July 29th at 7:30pm, 
Timberline room, after the Air Vair meeting.  Kent Sullivan will be giving a 
presentation on Stock Corvair batteries and Canadian Corvairs.  For those of 
you not able to attend, look toward the August Communiqué for further 
details.

Concours Classification was held today, as was the CORSA Board of Directors 
meeting.  Temps were 93 degrees outside and somewhat hotter than that in the 
Board meeting.

Vendors set up and started selling today.  Lon has a huge display but had to 
abandon it for most of the day while attending the Board meeting.  I must 
say I was very impressed with him and I think we are very lucky to have him 
on the Board.

Kent Sullivan ended his long reign as a Director and CPF President.  Sarah 
Jones Beltrami is now president of both CORSA and CPF.

Tomorrow is Concours day.  I hope to get out and take many pictures of the 
beautiful cars and will post them on a web site as soon as possible.

(still a CORSA Director but no longer Secretary -- yay!)
