<VV> New Convention Competitive Spectator event idea

[Sethracer at aol.com]

How about a new competitive event for the Convention? Two complete Corvair  
cars, both donated, same basic model. Displayed on solid supports 12"-18"  
off the ground, with full access to front and rear suspension. (All fluids  
drained) Two chosen team entries (lottery for the two team spots) and each  
entry (two people in a team) has a pair of fully charged Impact guns and a  
set of sockets and other tools. Probably a floor jack for safety. When the  
starting gun goes off, each team attacks their car. The winner is the team 
who  removes everything that can unbolt from the car the fastest. Every  
nut/bolt/screw must be removed from the main body structure, glass (if  present) 
should not be removed. The parts will piled up to the sides  for 
re-cycling. Removed parts need not be disassembled! Wires can be cut!  The winning 
team splits a cash prize. The host club gets the money  from the re-cycling! 
This would be the new spectator event!

Not  really- you can get from $200 to $250 each for scrap, more if you take 
the  time to separate the aluminium parts. We had a lot full of old 
Corvairs here  in Pensacola and someone went out and took everything they could 
unbolt off of  them-left only the shells. Taking the whole car would have been 
Grand Theft  Auto---- The local Sheriff wouldn't do anything about it 
because all they  stole was "Junk"
