 Making CORSA Conventions Appeal to Younger Members.  

During the CORSA Board’s October 1teleconference, Central Division Director Justin Duplantis said his peers havelittle interest in attending CORSA conventions because they are under theimpression that the focus is on concours cars.  Most of the people in his age group do not have enough time and incometo build or buy a concours-winning Corvair.  They are busy raising families and paying the bills.  They treasure their Corvairs but they are not in a position to spend large amounts of money to restore them.  And often, they don't want to.  They like them just the way they are, patina and all.

Western Division Directors Greg Vargas and Vince Petrie concurred with Justin’s concern.  Greg said his CORSA chapter - South Coast CORSA - hosts a Corvair show billed as “Ageless to Anarchy”.  Publicity for Ageless to Anarchy is geared toward any and all types ofCorvairs – even those that need to be "towed-in". 

Others on the Boards' call noted that CORSA conventions haveseveral events aside from the Concours and that a member need not have a flawless original Corvair to have fun at a CORSA convention.  They can enter their Corvairs - concours or not - in the autocross, rally, economy run, and car display and do well.  This is a point that needs to be made by CORSAand the host chapters in their convention publicity.  

Your chapter - even its not hosting a CORSA convention, can help get the message out there!
