<VV> CORSA CONVENTION / FLORIDA HEAT

[John Sweet]

I have questioned many times as to why Corsa has conventions in July 
especially in the South or places where it is hot and humid.  You never get 
an answer to this from Corsa.  Florida in July as been already said it is 
hot, humid, rainy and buggy.  Then they have it at a hotel in the downtown 
area which is another problem.  I would not definitely not take a concours 
car there due toi the acid rain you get in Florida.
My .02 cents worth.
