<VV> [fastvair] Corvair Racing, Corvairs win the day!

[Barry Ellison]

Rick Says... 
Out of 27 cars I placed 12th over all 
and 4th in EP! Gotta love attrition... I ran consistent if slow and the car 
handles great as it always has. My best lap time on the full 3.27 course 
was 2:30.163.
Compare that with the winner who was 
turning a 2:11.421 in a 97 BMW Z3! He lapped me like I was parked!
Barry Says... And the Z3 is also in EP, I might add.  :(  Pretty sad comparison if you ask me.  Rick, you've got 19 secs to make up, that's about 6 secs per mile of track.
 
Rick didn't include how many comments the cars got...which was plenty.  "Haven't seen a Corvair on the track in a long time!", and no stupid ones, either.
If Rick ran, I didn't see it...and mighty glad I DIDN'T!!
Crew note: Not much to do this weekend, no motors to pull, no ball joints to replace - just filling gas, torquing tires, checking pressures and locking the guys in.  I took a nap Saturday about noon in a chair between races - got a little sunburn and some chapped lips.  Well, there was the blown out spark plug wire (stayed in for race!) for Rick, and the disintegrated harmonic balancer and the one missing fan belt for David.
Absolutely gorgeous facilities, perfect weather, great Corvair friends, and well prepped cars.  The guys did us proud this weekend.
Peace,
B.(Good to be back home though)
