Matt,

The Fan Belt Toss is the (short) name of the annual swap meet held in
Palm Springs at the end of every October. It's hosted by one of several
clubs in the area. It's properly called the Great Western Fan Belt Toss
and Swap Meet.

The valve cover race is similar to the pinewood derby or soapbox race,
but a Corvair valve cover is used as a basis for a free-rolling "car",
which is rolled down an incline straight track. Just a little amusement
game/toy thought up back a few years ago by somebody who IMHO had too
much time on their hands. LOL
