All.
  I believe in giving credit where credit is due.
People keep asking me why I lost interest in Fieros and am doing so much with 
Corvairs.
  I really haven't lost interst in Fieros. They are fine, modern cars. When I 
drive my much more modern and flashy Fiero, I am virtually invisible.
  I never take out the red 63 Spyder or Sharon's purple A/C Monza with 
getting many thumbs  up or "hey, great car" from ALL ages of people. The young 
people surprise me the most by their interest. My early roadster was very popular 
at the Hershey vintage hill climb as was Mark's Stinger.
   But, the main reason for being into Corvairs rather than Fieros is the 
difference in the clubs----the people----the activities
  No other club has the great variety of activities. The yearly conventions 
with all of the displays and moving events easily eclipse what any other 
affordable club does. .
   I think that we ought to applaud NECC for the extra moving events related 
to Corvairs. Through NECC we have EXTRA  varieties of moving car activities at 
famous venues. We have time trials at Lime Rock, Pocono regularly and new 
track venues each year. This year we even have a drag race before the convention. 
   We take these things and NECC for granted . We haven't always had this 
much activity and doubtless won't always continue to have it. Nothing lasts 
forever. I say support these activities while they still exist and to ensure to 
continue their existence. They , NECC have tens of thousands invested in the 
track rental and have to hold their breath and wait until the last days before the 
event to see if if they are going to go broke before Corvair entries who are 
only risking approx.. $150 to tardily enter the events. It's not just the 
money either; much time and effort is involved in arrangng and managing the 
events. 
   Get those cars ready and enter while there are still events to enter and 
you/me are still young enough to do it. . YOU DO NOT have to race. You can tour 
the tracks at any speed that you wish and will have lots of slow company 
doing so. Just enter the slower group. There are throphies for absolutely 
stock/concours condition cars also. Any one can do the drag race---even FCs and Ultra 
vans.
  Lets show our support, We're making our own history.
