<VV> 2008 Experiences

[levair at aol.com]

Lat Saturday I went to the Indy Region SCCA banquet and got a pleasant 
surprise.

I won the regional champonship in the E Mod class.

The reasons for this surprise were that I attended their events in two 
different classes, not really caring about any trohpies or even staying 
for the presentations.

   I was away so much traveling to Corvair events in California and 
Florida that I didn't even bother keeping track of points. I also spead 
my local competition between at least 4 clubs--not a good way to win 
anything--just having fun and "happy to be there".

I switched between the  CP Stinger and the EM Roadster, apparently only 
running officially in CP one time, mostly I just ran the Stinger in EM 
because of poor participation of other CP cars.

In this area, we run on a great variety of courses, from small  first 
gear, slippery  parking lots to expansive concrete 3rd gear air force 
bases.

    In our regions, all of the EM cars except mine are 1200# Lotus 
Replicas with engines of any/all kinds.

Therefore I always  jokingly registered which ever car I was driving 
as: "Not a Lotus".

Great fun to receive an unexpected reward.

This season, I hope to (fingers crossed) to run the Stinger much 
more---just because!
