<VV> Time Trials in Cedar Rapids

[AeroNed at aol.com]

Bob,
 
Thanks for correcting me in a much more gentle way than Brian would have  
:^).
 
I'm looking forward to seeing the 2010 plans for NECC and hoping that I'll  
have the economic ability to participate (due to job stability not event  
costs).
 
Ned

False.  The  insurance is available to any organization that wishes to 
purchase  it.  That being said, the NECC, by virtue of sanctioning 
multiple  events each year, gets a lower per-event insurance rate.

Semi-true.  The NECC (Northeast  Corvair Council) is not itself a 
Chapter, but it is an association of  CORSA Chapters.  Because the 
NECC is comprised of CORSA Chapters,  CORSA has been generous with its 
support under the terms of the Chapter  Plan.

True.

Again, semi-true.   Participation and attendance appears to be 
bolstered more by the  enthusiasm of participating members than 
whether there is necessarily a  convention tie-in.  Scheduling, 
geography, and other factors all  affect the size and success of a track 
event.

The NECC is already  looking at what-and-where for  2010.
