<VV> WTBRT = 333 and the Real story about "MudFlaps"

[Louis C. Armer,Jr.]

It was just another beautiful sunny day in the oldest US city. The 
bright blue sky was mixed with an
occasional puffy white cloud and the combo was perfect for 
"FastEddie" Meadows 2nd variation to his
outstanding autocross setup at yet another exciting SECC racing 
event. FE had set up a course which
was about 7/10 of a mile and had only 5 turns (curves) in the whole 
course........read fast into that mind
picture you have. The Georgia connection was well represented as we 
had added Ray Paul and Al Hilderbrand
to the mix. Ray and Al have their Corvairs prepared for dragrace 
activities but had decided to support SECC
and in the process both had a great time and very decent times on 
both Saturday and Sunday. Ray had the
fastest time of the weekend for the Georgia racers with an 
outstanding 49+ second run on his very last run.
Now mind you this is with an automatic, lightened, LM convertible 
with skinny tires up front. Way to go Ray!
I, FrontMan, had a 51+second run in WTBRT but couldn't quite catch 
him. "MudFlap" was sooooooo shook up
after his swamp buggy soiree that added at least 10 lbs of Florida 
Goo to #112, that he couldn't get below a 52+ for the
heat. Al's times were in the mid fifties and this was quite good as 
he was running on street tires and he is also
setup to dragrace not autocross. The FTD of the day was 45 or 46 
seconds by a 2005 WRX Subaru AWD turbo.
He beat Joe Dunlap by less than a second. Joe was driving his LM 
coupe with the sweet engine that Dave Clemens
had built for Joe. Now, when you hear that, Ray Paul's run is even 
more meaningful. "MudFlaps" aka Scott Trunkhill
aka "BeefJr" bested the FrontMan for the TWO day aggregate score by a 
total of 112.38 to 113.76.   WTBRT #112
has now run 333 runs without any mechanical failures and we are 
really spoiled. Anyone who has watched FM and BeefJr drive knows that 
we do not baby the Beef car. We only do the normal things you should 
do before racing. I am pleased about what this little Corvair has 
accomplished, how Scott has evolved as a competent driver and how 
much fun racing a Corvair on a limited
budget is and will continue to be in the future exploits of the 
"Where's The Beef Racing Team".
