[NoVa-Corvairs] Great Race

[Curtis L Shimp]

Members:

If you want to watch the cars entered in the Great Race they will be
coming through Front Royal just after noon.  The cars and drivers will
make a pit stop in Front Royal.  If you drive your Corvair the town will
let you park in the town square from noon to 2 PM which is where the
racers will make their pit stop.  There will be vendors with refreshments
and beverages if you are concerned that you will miss your lunch.  No,
even though its only a 20 minute drive from my house, I won't be there as
I will be at a Corvair picnic on the Potomac.
