I too have a lot of old Corvair videos, back when I got that new VHS full sized camcorder. 
Carried that thing around for years and filming a lot. 
I have the complete NADER speech from front and center that I filmed at the DC convention. 
I remember getting there an hour early to get a perfect spot, and 5 minutes before the speech had a TV cameraman try and set up in front of me. 
Told him if he didn't move I would spend the event kicking his tripod......he moved. 

I picked up one of those ION VHS decks to transfer VHS tape to Computer digital. 
One of these days I will have all that transferred and available, probably on utube.

> While going through some old videos to upgrade to dvd I came across some taken in 1990 an 1991.  The 1990 convention I believe was in 1990 and at Chicago.  Some misc. shots at the convention hotel and some good shots at the autocross.  This was the year the neigborhood called the cops and tried to run us out.  Also got good shot of Larry Claypool's famous burnouts with the Toronado powered Vair. 
> Next was the regional at Fox Valley in Wisc. which was in 1991   Good shots of the show and cars that were there, really large gathering of Corvairs Some footage of the dog racing and Osh Kosh air museum.  I like the planes as well nas the Corvairs. 
> Last on this video was at convention in Washington DC and not all that much except Ralph Nader's famous visit and speech to the attendees.got most of it except the tail end of it, not sure why I didn't run to the end of the speech, however there is an Indiana , Ohio State ball game on the tape after the speech.  That was in 1990 and I need to watch the rest of the tape to see who won.  Indiana was good that year.
