<VV> "Corvairs Drive The Tail of the Dragon"

[Bruce Schug]

Dear Corvair Friends,

It's been almost forty-nine years since the Corvair was introduced and  
cars haven't been the same since. Neither have race tracks, twisty  
roads, and other automobile venues.

Never before have people had so much fun driving their cars. Corvairs  
have run virtually every race track and roadway in the world: Daytona,  
Bristol, Pocono, Lime Rock, Summit Point, and VIR, not to mention Road  
Atlanta, Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen, and Elkart Lake. They've dared the  
Darien, won rallye championships, road racing championships, the  
Mobile Gas Economy Run, drag racing crowns, and even conquered Chimney  
Rock, Eagle's Nest, and other hill climb venues.

There's only one road yet to challenge the Corvair; one frontier left;  
one adventure to go.

On the weekend of Saturday, November 15th, and Sunday, November 16th,  
2008, after the Indy Corvair Olympics, Eagle's Nest, Crow Mountain,  
the Runoffs, the Fall Affair, St. Augustine, and the nineteenth annual  
"Corvairs in the Curves", the guys and gals of CORSA South Carolina  
will take you there...

The last adventure...

The last frontier...

The final challenge....

The Tail of the Dragon

Are you up to it?

Can you stand the fun?

"Corvairs Drive the Tail of the Dragon"

and look at the Event Calendar to see all the other marques that have  
events here; everything from Ferraris to Miatas and now.... Corvairs!!!

We will be staying at the Fontana Village Resort, where we have a  
great rate on rooms and cabins. Go to:   http://www.fontanavillage.com/

We will also be taking in Fontana Dam and the $100,000,000 Cherohala  
Skyway which, along with the Dragon, is rated as one of the great  
drives in our country:   http://www.cherohalaskyway.com/

"Corvairs Drive the Tail of the Dragon" is not a race or a rallye. It  
is just a good time with your Corvair friends driving these beautiful  
roads, visiting with each other, and kicking tires.

November 15, 2008. Circle it on your calendar. "Corvairs Drive the  
Tail of the Dragon". The moon will be nearly full and the air will be  
cool. The sinuous curves of Tail of the Dragon beckon. Plan to come if  
you're near to us. Wish you could, if you're not.
