<VV> Re: Lime Rock, Fitch Exhibit

[Vairtec at optonline.net]

Tim should have noted that even though he is seeking travelling partners 
from the midwest, he won't be alone when he gets to the Saratoga Auto 
Museum -- at least eight of us are planning to meet there around noon on 
Saturday, September 30.  Here are the particulars:

We're driving to the Saratoga Auto Museum in Saratoga Springs, New York, on 
Saturday, September 30, to see the exhibit, "John Fitch, an American Racing 
Hero."  The Fitch exhibit focuses on Mr Fitch's years with Mercedes-Benz, 
but the exhibit also covers his career as a pilot in World War II and it 
includes in the display two Corvair Sprints and the Fitch Phoenix.

For more information, see

Then, following our visit to the museum, we are going to travel to 
Pittsfield, Massachusetts, for an overnight stay before the annual NECC 
All-Corvair Show at Lime Rock, Connecticut, on Sunday, October 1.  The Lime 
Rock show takes place at the Paradise Garage, see

This year the Lime Rock show includes some diversionary games, and a 
shopping trip to the boutiques in Kent, and special book-signing by Mr 
Fitch himself.

If you wish to join us for this itinerary, too, you'll need to let me know 
and you'll need to make your own room reservations.  We're staying at the 
Ramada Inn in Pittsfield on Saturday night, and make your reservations soon 
because leaf-peeping is filling it up fast.  The Ramada Inn info is at

If the Ramada Inn is fully booked, there are other hotels are in the area, 
we have no special "deal" for room rates.

The NECC's Lime Rock show is always enjoyable and a trip the the museum for 
this special exhibit is not to be missed.  Plus, the Fall colors will be at 
their peak.  Join us!
