<VV> Record Towing With A Corvair

[BBRT]

Kudos to Smitty.

Probably 400,000 miles on the trailer. Only towed behind a Corvair and most 
if not all behind his "64" SW w/ A/C, I believe ...... including VA to 
Alaska, VA to AZ and last year, VA to WA (oh yeah, and back to VA....). More 
Kudos to Helen...
