<VV> New CORSA events

[James Davis]

Correct.  Three Ultra Vans competed at the Clay City Dragstrip just 
before the Lexington convention.  Seven Ultra Vans were in 
attendance.  The best UV time was Walt Davison's 19.7 at 62, but then 
that is a 3,200 lb coach.  Typical UV's ran in the mid 20's @ 55 
mph.  It was nice to see a 1961 Rampside (80hp/4-sp) win it all, even 
though Billy Bruce's low 13's @108 (63 coupe) was most impressive.
