<VV> Cendiv champ autocross report- Rantoul autox

[Flat6Vair]

Warren must be hiding lots,  was one of his shorter reports.  Watch out
Iowans,  The Marshalltown time trial will see some very nice cars go fast
around that go-kart track.  I can't wait.

meanwhile.....Rob Landers and I showed our Corvairs at Rantoul to a smaller
crowd but plenty of youngters <under 25>  Rob, when he finally  ran the
course correctly around the first slaloom,  ran quite fast, beating me
soundly <index>  RObn was driving that good looking blue 67 Yenko Stinger.
The rain did not miss us,  driving rain <came down hard at a 45 degree
angle> for 10-15 minutes.   My excuses start now <VBG>  I got to drive after
the rain, Rob had the first heat in the dry.  OK after the 1st two runs the
course was dry,  but then they move a gate to move it out of a puddle/bad
concrete spot,  which i promptly missed on my next run, and as I watched
myself miss it,  I of course took my eyes off the next gate which was the
180 turn-around gate....missed it too.  My fourth and final run was clean
and did beat Rob on raw score.....I am running a CP car....final
excuse....Rob had 5 runs and it was his Fifth that was the fastest and
hardest to beat.

This was Robs only chance to warm up before Marshalltown and the Iowa
mini -- and he got hot.....Those in IS-5 should come prepared.  Rob will be
tough to beat,  his stinger is running very good,  and his eyesight is now
much improved.
