<VV> Buffalo 2006

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Having attended so many Corsa Conventions over the years, (and every one  
since 1980) I have to admit, many of them just slide together in my  
memories. My wife and I flew to Buffalo from California, then drove to the  Nelson 
Ledges track day and back to Buffalo. The downtown location of the hotel,  
had benefits and drawbacks. As Hank mentioned, the parking was tough, not just 
 for the trailers. But the close-by downtown area was a constant draw for 
us, and  we spent time walking the area, eating at the restaurants. The 
Buffalo  hot-wet summer weather was "iffy", but worked out fine. The welcome 
party  on the ship was okay. We loved the tour to Niagara Falls and Canada. The  
vendor area was right in the middle of the hotel, great for me, since I am 
a  vendor. I really enjoyed the Tonawanda factory tour. The autocross at the 
Oval  track was fast and fun - I got to drive Rick Norris' car. It couldn't 
have  gotten much better! When we leisurely wandered out to the airport on 
Sunday to  fly home, I had to admit, I was sorry to leave. Two or three 
months later,  I watched the news as Buffalo was hit with a pre-season blizzard 
that closed all  the highways and basically shut down the city. Okay, not so 
sorry at that point!  

Finally - If I mixed up any of the above events, I am apologizing in  
advance.
