<VV> VV Re: anyone race their Corvair in the dirt?

Race in/on dirt--of course!!

Marilynn and I have raced her 65 Monza at a couple of local SCCA 
Rallycrosses held at an old copper mining tailings dump site--essentially a 
huge sandbox.  The Corvair had great traction but could have used more 
power.  Ground clearance was also a problem toward the end after the 4X4 
trucks made deep ruts.  We did better (3rd overall) another time with our 
01 Dodge Ram 2500 (Cummins/6-speed) for a December outing--half sand, half 
snow.  Ground clearance, flotation tires and gobs of torque were the order 
of the day...
