[Vairtec Corporation]

Silicone Wire Systems of San Jose, California, has donated $100 to be 
presented to the winner of the John Fitch Award at the “Corvair 
Olympics” conducted by the Northeast Corvair Council (NECC) in the 
greater Indianapolis, Indiana, area June 16-17-18, 2011.

Silicone Wire Systems is owned and operated by Seth Emerson, longtime 
Corvair owner, racer, and enthusiast.

The Corvair Olympics is a three-day Corvair performance extravaganza 
consisting of time trials on a road course, drag racing on a 
quarter-mile, and autocross on a pylon-defined course.

The John Fitch Award, honoring the best overall performance in all three 
events, is named for the well-known war hero, race car driver, and 
safety advocate John Fitch, who at age 93 remains actively involved in 
automotive pursuits. Fitch’s modified Corvairs, produced with the 
cooperation of Chevrolet in the 1960s, are prized collectible cars today.

The time trials, preceded by open lapping sessions, will take place on 
Thursday, June 16, at the Putnam Park Road Course in Mount Meridian, 
west of Indianapolis. The drag races will take place on Friday, June 17, 
at Muncie Dragway just outside of Muncie, northeast of the city. The 
autocross will take place on Saturday, June 18, at the Carbon Motors 
facility in Connersville, east of Indy.

The John Fitch Award is given to the driver who participates in all 
three events with the same Corvair, Corvair-bodied, or Corvair-powered 
vehicle and who earns the best overall score. Individual scores are 
weighted by a formula to adjust for different classes, enabling stock 
Corvairs to compete on an equal footing with race-prepared Corvairs.

Competition, Silicone Wire Systems does it all. Nine colors of low
