<VV> Tool idea and Corvair Racer-Tech "Yellow Pages"

[aeroned at aol.com]

Seth,

I asked for, but have yet to recieve, vendor info for the PCG web site. I wasn't thinking of an elaborate "Yellow Page" that you described, but just a collection of vendors and their web sites/contact info.

Now if I could just get a couple free hours to finish the PCG web site....

Second - While building my latest race-oriented Corvair, I have been buying  
various race parts from the racers and the vendors (Thanks, guys) Many of the  
sources I remembered from attending the Performance Workshop, reading the PCG 
 newsletter, and having done this more than a few times before. But just 
since I  started this particular car, there have been several additions to the 
cadre of  Corvair vendors offering performance parts and services. I propose a 
Corvair  Racer-Tech "Yellow Pages" - available on a web page only - that would 
offer an  indexed listing for vendors of Corvair-oriented racing/performance 
parts  and services. Like the Yellow pages, the content would be the 
responsibility of  the vendor, with some size limits, but linking would be 
allowed to 
other sites.  Since they are ads, claims can be made, pictures and procedures 
can 
be shown.  Listing in the pages would not be considered an endorsement, just 
listing of  available sources. The index could be broken down by areas of the 
car  modified.

The intent here is to make it easier to find the parts and services that  
people need to build their performance cars. In addition it provides a service  
to the Corvair parts vendors - many of which are small companies with a few  
dozen parts or services - allowing them virtually "Free" advertising to the  
racer community. The only restriction I foresee would be that only  
Racing/Performance parts would be addressed, not "stock" parts. Eventually, a  
Tech Tip 
Section could be added - spread out the same way. If you were building  a motor, 

you could go to the section on Fuel Systems and find a list of folks  who sell 
Carb parts, Fuel pumps, etc. People who modify carbs with  jet-relocation, 
vent tubes, and, perhaps a few tips on what worked for other  folks. Pictures of 

the mods, parts and services are right there, on your  screen.
 
I am looking for input on this idea. I'm sure Corsa can find a place  for 
hosting it. - Seth Emerson
