Matt asked

> Will you attend your "Normal" Covair Meets?
Yes,  may consider attending more regionals if they are held

> Will you complete the 2009 projects you planned 6 months ago?
Planned?  Race car gets improvements as I am able.  starting to think about 
re-restoring the 2 Fitch Sprints.  Got the driver driving, and stopped 
working on it -- it was drivable......ooops,  forgor to check the heater fan 
(dismal) and to properly adjust the windows (lots of air leakage into the 
cabin)  thus not a good winter car in central illinois

> Do you see this as an "opportunity" to add to your fleet?
Already ran out of room -- storing one car at my sister's and one got pushed 
to the driveway.

> Will you DRIVE your Corvairs, More or Less?
Will start driving the red coupe daily once I can stay warm in it.  More fun 
then the pickup.  Driving to meets is cheaper than towing but. the race car 
isn't street legal.........hmmmm.
