Guys
    I was desperately hoping Tony was in jest, but he picked, expertly to 
me, some of the hottest button issues in the club.

The delivery of the Communique was flogged to death a good 15 years ago, 
even BEFORE there was a V V . Yet it takes a beating every year or so.

Racing?  It took me a while to get used to the idea, but the racers aren't 
looking to take over, they just enjoy what they're doing.  And go-fast mods 
are on their edge.  No complaints there.

I think Tony U.would make as good a Director as anyone currently on the 
board, or who as served in recent memory, or better.  At least I think he's 
logical and analyitical.   What more would we want?

Tony I., if nobody's running yet (hence the e-mail), go for it!! You have 
nothing to lose.  Get CORSA NC behind you with it's 250 odd members and 
you'll win---only about 10% of the membership ever votes anyway.

  I totally agree with you Tom ! In fact, I have tremendous respect for
  folks like Bill Fisher from the racers of the yore and Seth Emerson 
(there's
  a professor many missed) from today's clique.

  Hank was right - a five letter word -- h u m o r --  would have saved me
  the ocean of flames I've received in private emails (not to mention the
  kind and less intense ones).

  In short Tom, I love racing my Corvairs (the mid-engine and the 140 HP 
1960 are
  keepers). IMHO nothing comes close to the sensation of driving a corvair
  in an autocross or just pushing it [to the limit] through a curve...

  Any hoooo, I'm beginning to think that with all this support, maybe I 
should
  really run for the Eastern Division thing, but so far not a peep from Sara 
:))

  Best wishes,


  Tony Irani
  Charlotte, NC

  Tony,Corvairs have been raced competitively from the beginning..Racing is 
a proving ground for things like the 140 heads and suspension 
improvements,and is part of the cars' heritage...continued racing today 
underscores the fact that the Corvair was-and still is-a good car when 
compared to all others,not a dangerous POS some believe, and we need to 
stand firm here...just my 2c...Tom Z,CORSA/ACORNS
