<VV> Back home again in Indiana - Performance Workshop - Two invitations in one!

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Next March, the Performance Corvair Group, a Special Interest Chapter of  
the Corvair Society of America, will present the 2011 Performance Workshop. 
The  workshop has found a nice home in Indianapolis, IN. Indy is still a 
hotbed of  auto racing in the USA, and the location of many racing oriented 
businesses.  Circle City Corvair Club will be the hosts for the event and they 
are  coordinating the details of the location and logistics. As we have in 
the past,  the PCG will compile and present a Saturday program full of High  
performance data and hardware, oriented toward the Corvair. We have divided  
the program into sections to allow each aspect of the Corvair and it's  
preparation to be addressed. Besides working with the racing-oriented businesses 
 and their displays, we hope to have proven experts in each area present a 
short  informal talk, with examples of problems and solutions, then answer 
questions  from the attendees with discussion to follow. Corvair vendors will 
 be present and each will get a chance to display and describe their wares. 
 If you see an area of Corvair Performance not covered in the list below, 
contact  me and we can address it. I know this is an ambitious list but some 
areas could  be covered quickly, others in more depth. Here is a tentative 
list of the  areas we want to cover.
 
 
1) Cooling System - Vertical fan status
2) Oil system - (Dry sump? - hose technology)
3) Engine rotating assembly - new cranks/crank prep
4) Front Suspension - stock to coil overs
5) Rear Suspension - 
6) Fuel System/Ignition system - 
7) Exhaust System - from the head out.
8) Head, Cam and valve train
9) Bodywork - Aero Parts
10) Tires/Wheels/Brakes
11) Safety aspects (Cage/seat/belts/helmets/restraints)
12) Common Rule books - SCCA/Corsa - and upcoming events
 
This E-mail serves two purposes. It is both an invitation to attend the  
Workshop, listen to and speak with the presenters AND a request to the  
knowledgeable, builder/racers, to pick a section and present your  experience and 
recommendations. If you feel you have the knowledge  to address the adoring 
throng, drop me (Seth Emerson) back a note. I have  some guidelines for the 
presentations and I would be happy to work with you.  (Including computer 
help). What has always made the Workshops a success is  this sharing of 
performance technology and experience with the other racers  and hopeful racers. 
If it works for you, it can work for others!  

Set aside the date today - March 18-19, 2011 in Indianapolis. You will  
hear much more about it in the coming months, including a complete agenda  and 
schedule. Come hungry - both for food and for knowledge!  See you  there!
