[SCG] Getting involved with SCG research

[Bill Hubbell]

Thanks to Ron for his initiative in setting this up at a local show (see
below).  I would encourage ALL members of the SCG to take similar action at
your own local events.  There will never be more Stock Corvairs surviving
than right now, so each time we fail to document we lose.

 

Along those lines, perhaps you have a special interest in some small part of
the Stock Corvair world but really couldn't care less about other areas.  I,
for example, am most interested in 1964 Corvairs, early models in a more
general sense.  Well, please take ownership of your niche interest and
document everything you know about it.  Consider telling the rest of us what
your interest is, and ask others to help you by providing surveys, etc.
Then, when you think you have enough data to tell a story, write me an
article and I will publish it in the SCG newsletter (haven't had any
material in awhile so no newsletters have been published).  Eventually, we
may want to use your material to "write the book" on your area of Stock
Corvairs

 

SCG wants you!  Please get involved.

 

Bill Hubbell

SCG president

Ron,

 

I will be at the subject meeting on 7/26/09.  Please keep me informed about
the details.  I looked for the event registration form and your site and
also through CORSA's site but could not find it.  Perhaps my error but I'm
sure this will be worked out.

 

I am interested in documenting data on originality and stock Corvairs.
Since Saturday's show will not be a judged show this would be an excellent
opportunity to record data on those items that may be considered original on
the displayed cars.  I have been in touch with Bill Hubbel, president of the
Stock Corvair Group (SCG), and he would support such an activity where we
would submit out data and pictures to him.  He has sent me an Excel
Spreadsheet that contains a the form they use at the National for
documenting what parts of a car
are stock vs. not.  This would not be a judged event but merely a data
gathering event as is done at the National by the Stock Corvair Group.  The
cars to not have to be all original or in concours condition.  They could be
daily drivers, modified, or show cars.  My vehicle is mostly original but
has had modifications based on maintenance items, daily use,  and personal
preference.  This would be an opportunity to support the SGC in the
voluminous task of documenting what is orginal.

 

Your thoughts on this activity would be appreciated.

 

Cordially.

Erich Meyer

Subject: Corvair's 50th Birthday

This is to update you on the progress being made for the Corvair's 50th
Birthday, Oct. 2 & 3 in Cape May, New Jersey.

 

First, please be sure to let everyone know that the block of rooms at LaMer
is only blocked until August 1.  That means that you will have to  pay the
higher prices after August 1.

 

Second, the registration for the event should be up on the NJACE web site.
You can navigate there from the CORSA web site.  Registration will cost $29
per family.  This is necessary to cover all of our calculated costs
including munchies for the welcome party, popcorn for the movie,  drip mats
for the show, etc., etc.

 

Third,  we will have a pre-event meeting to go over the details of the
event.  I hope you will all make it.  The meeting will be on July 26, 2009
at a location to be determined.  I am looking for a central location, so if
anyone has a suggestion, please let me know.

 

For now, please let your members know about registration and about the
deadline for the room block at the host hotel.  Thank you.

 

Ron Peles

Event Chairman
