>> While going through some old videos to upgrade to dvd I came across some
>> taken in 1990 an 1991. Â The 1990 convention I believe was in 1990 and
>> at Chicago. Â Some misc. shots at the convention hotel and some good
>> shots at the autocross. Â This was the year the neigborhood called the
>> cops and tried to run us out. Â 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 Â  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. Â 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. Â That was in 1990 and I need to watch the
>> rest of the tape to see who won. Â Indiana was good that year. Â
