I  received a message from the Aircraft Auto Engine Group (on Yahoo) 
about a  "Corvair College" in Livermore, CA, on Jan 16, 17 and 18.  It is  
hosted by the Corvair aircraft guru William Wynne.  Looks  interesting.  
Here's a link to the  event:

Charlie - Thank you for the notice. I registered and attended the "Corvair  
College" both Friday evening and all day Saturday. I will write up a review. 
The  closest comparison I can draw would be the Performance Workshop that 
FastVair  and a few dedicated Midwest folks have been hosting for the last few 
years. The  folks who are building the Corvair motor for light/experimental 
aviation use are  quite motivated. The numbers are amazing and the group is spread 
all over  the US - even some in Europe. Their usage has inspired production of 
several new  performance parts which will eventually find their way into racing 
and  performance Corvair cars. Out of 40-45 attendees, I was probably the 
only  current Corvair "car" guy (meaning no aircraft interest) - But  there were 
several racers there - folks who had been running various cars for  many 
years. Also, some of the people had been introduced to the  Corvair motor through 
their search for their "core" motors. More than one of  them commented on what 
a neat car they thought the Corvair was, and that they  were considering 
finding a nice Corvair for regular street driving. The focus of  this "Corvair 
College 13" was the preparation and assembly of the cases and  bottom end of the 
participants motors. There were at least a dozen case sets  being prepped and 
assembled there. Lots of plastigage and measuring was going  on. 
I had a great time and would have attended today - for the close out. But I  
had to bring my Corvair out to an Autocross for the season opener. Oh  Well!
