<VV> [fastvair] Corvair at Stuttgart!

[MSYVairs at aol.com]

Stuttgart was a World War 2 Army Air Corp flight school and training base.  
My dad was stationed there as a flight instructor in the early 40's.. We 
lived  in Arkansas after WW2 from 1953 until 1959. Old base was used for many 
events as  I remember.

Stuttgart, Arkansas, that is. I received my copy of the April  2012 SCCA 
monthly magazine "Sports Car". And there was a picture of a  Corvair on the 
cover, an early convertible. A very tiny picture, but a full  picture. Inside 
the magazine is a story on the "Ghost Tracks" of the  Southeast. Those are 
the road racing tracks that were built, raced on and  then, for some reason 
(usually financial) closed and abandoned over the years.  The author, Peter 
Hylton, attempts to visit the locations and sometimes has  pictures of what 
is left of a specific corner or straightaway. The small photo  of the Corvair 
was pulled out of a much larger photo in the story. It shows  the Corvair 
convertible as the pace-car for the big Grand Prairie  Sports Car race in 
about 1963 or 64 at the Stuttgart Airport track. The  Corvair even has the 
pace-car banners on the doors. Like in that photo from  the Nassau races that 
showed up last week, the sporty Corvair really stands  out in this shot. -
