I tried this yesterday and, for some unknown reason, that evil "mailer
demon" bounced it back to me. If at first you don't succeed....
I looked into my own collection of articles, etc. and found that the
"Corvairs in Track Suits" article appeared several years after the fact in Special
Interest Autos May-June 1974. According to the article, at Continental
Divide Raceway near Denver in November 1959, Don Allen Chevrolet fielded a team
of Corvairs. Mention is made of this event in an article entitled “Corvairs
in Track Suits” by Richard A. Miner. The article mentions the cars going up
against Volvos, Renaults, Valiants, Falcons, etc. I don't know much about
racing and don't know whether that was a NASCAR event but I doubt it. If anyone
comes across any article about the Daytona event, please share it with us.
