Okay, let's take a look at what Brian posted on June 12:

"The Time Trials at Waterford Hills for this years CORSA 
International Convention is fast approaching.  At this time, the 
Northeast Corvair Council (NECC) current registration figures are far 
below the 'break even' point.  It is very, very important that anyone 
who plans to particpate register now, or at least send an email 
confirming your intent to drive at Waterford Hills to John Ryall at 
jryall at juno.com.  Registration forms can be downloaded from the NECC 
Website @ http://www.corvair.org/chapters/necc/page2.html

"Let's keep the Time Trials an integral part of the Corvair 
hobby.  Waterford Hills is an excellent track, and the time trials 
are truly an exhilarating experience for both novice drivers and 
veterans alike.

"The cancellation date for the contract with Waterford Hills is 
near.  It would be unfortunate if this event had to be 
scratched.  Please help us get an accurate head count of drivers so 
we can move forward with holding this unique Corvair driving experience."

So, on June 12 Brian indicated that registrations were lagging, that 
the cancellation date was approaching, and asked for an indication of 
support.  I don't see any poor communication there.  Warren's post of 
today is merely a reinforcement of that message.

Fortunately, people have been responding, and while commitments are 
still below the break even point, the NECC is optimistic as of today.

There's no mysterious "inner circle," just a small group of 
volunteers.   But if you'd like some "insider" information, here's 
where we stand as of June 26:

Drivers needed to break even:  32.

Drivers who have either registered or indicated their intent:  24.
