....on Route 66!!
Yesterday a few fellow Corvair owners set out from Wichita and headed  
south. We met up with a dozen of our Corvair friends from OKC at Pops 
(_http://route66.com/_ (http://route66.com/) ) on Route 66. After  visiting and buying 
some pop, we headed down the famous highway. We stopped at  the famous Rock 
Cafe (_http://www.oklahomaroute66.com/preservation/rockcafe.html_ 
(http://www.oklahomaroute66.com/preservation/rockcafe.html) )  to meet another group 
of Corvair fans from Tulsa. We had a total of 20 Corvairs,  11 LM 8 EMs and 
one FC. The weather was a bit cool and windy. The Wichita cars  ran great 
with only a tossed fan belt. We had dinner back in the  Wichita area before 
heading to our monthly meeting. We racked up about 400  miles on "Drive Your 
Corvair Day."
 
Oh, but I wasn't done yet. This morning I participated in a Porsche club  
autocross with my 65 coupe with a 95/PG. The odd thing today was that I 
wasn't  the only air cooled 6 cylinder. Most of the time, the Porsches are the 
water  cooled Boxer variety. Today there was a 914/6 and a old 911. My car was 
 extremely slow compared to my silver car (which is still for sale:

(http://members.cox.net/1966corsa/ForSale/) )  but not the slowest car today. Yup, my 95/PG on street tires beat a 
few  Porsches! You can bet I won't remind my coworker PCA members of that 
too  often. You'd lose the bet though...
 
Another great Corvair weekend!
