<VV> Seth's own car

[Corvkid50 at aol.com]

I had a riot for my first Autocross. I got lost on the 180 turn the  first 
run, then  spun out at the finish but my reason was simple.  I had no idea 
of what I was doing LOL But it was sure fun!! LOL

All:  Seth drove his own Corvair powered Corvair at  Ventura.  It was a work
in progress then, and I don't remember how he  did.  I think there's been a
couple times when he did not beat the  car's owner.  Curiously, I think it
was when the borrowed car was in  one of the slower classes.

A couple of the competition cars went off at  the first corner.  The
transition from the outer oval to the inner got  them on their first run.
After that, they adjusted.

Just about all  the spinning was done by folks as the tried to get slowed
down after going  thru the timing lights.  It looked to me like it was a bit
of  showboating for the crowd.  Which really enjoyed it.

Historically  Yours,
James

JR and Matt -

I  can confirm at least 1 car was in the grass.  On my 4th lap, I spun  
right
before the finish, and ended up going backwards into the  grass....have the
mud/grass on my quarter panels to confirm.

This  was in IS-2 - I didnt get to stay for any of the other racing due to
duties  at the hotel.

Seth Emerson drove it like he borrowed it.  Wait, he DID! Wouldn't be the
first time the autocross was won with a  borrowed  car.
