<VV> Beware Corvairs parked on Grass at Convention Concours

[AeroNed at aol.com]

I found a couple of interesting facts in the two quotes you sited. As Stan  
mentioned, the convention car display is going to be on grass in a park. I'm  
fairly certain that the grass will be well maintained, green and manicured. 
This  is significantly different from the high and dry grass in the field in 
Florida.  The second fact is that the park is 1.5 miles from the hotel. Just hot 
would the  Corvair exhaust get after traveling 1.5 miles?
 
Wichita has a very large car show every June at the Lake Afton park. There  
are about 1000 show cars and maybe double that for the spectators, all parked 
on  grass. The park is about 40 miles from Wichita. The grass is far from green 
and  manicured. In more than 20 years, there's never been a fire. I can also 
site  several dozen airshows that I've attended, parked on grass and never 
heard of a  fire.
 
Just to be safe, the Buffalo planners should consider banning all  Maserati's 
from the display :^).
