<VV> WTBRT reaches endurance milestone 300

[Louis C. Armer,Jr.]

Hey Everyone, CORSA SC conducted their annual autocross at a new site 
this year.
It was a very nice course and ran on a weathered but solid asphalt 
surface in the large
parking lot of Wren High School in  Piedmont, SC. The weather was 
picture perfect and the
course was made even more pleasant by a refreshing breeze which 
cooled us all day. There
was a nice mix of earlies, lates, stock, street prepared and 
competition Corvairs present. A
go-cart and a late model Corvette and a Cadillac Hearse,yes Hearse, 
completed the field of entries.
  Three Corvair Atlanta members competed this year. Ray Paul, CA 
president, brought and raced his
late model convertible which is really a drag race car and of course 
WTBRT # 112 was ready and willing.
Scott, Ray, and I all drove the venerable #112  and during the late 
afternoon the magic figure of 300 runs
was achieved and surpassed as Ray took 2 runs in our Beef mobile. 
This is 300 runs without any mechanical
failures, or repairs of any type. We have a ball in our ULTRA 
xcrosser and we encourage each of you to build
an inexpensive car and go racing. Oh, Donnie Bird of "Flying Pig" 
fame, did NOT barbecue the BEEF team.
      FTD of the day was produced by David Clemens in his 3.1 liter 
LM coupe. He ran a 38 second time.
Tony Ellison, Bruce Shug, and Steve Avery gave it their best but 
couldn't match David this afternoon.
I was very proud of Scott as he pushed the BEEF to an outstanding 
time of 41.35. I was over a second
slower in my best time of 42.56 while Ray Paul produced a 43.1 in his 
first time out with #112.
Everyone had as many course runs as they wanted and much fun was had 
by every entrant. Many thanks
to everyone and especially Barry Ellison "Choir Boy" as Eventmaster 
of the Sweet Sixteenth "Corvairs in the Curves"
