If  someone was interested in a really 'original' restoration of a racing  
Corvair, that was only to be used in short events,
drums all around are  the way to go. But for any longer events that would 
seriously overheat a  drum setup, vented discs
are the only realistic solution that can save your  car, perhaps your health, 
too.

What Mel says is true - But it is trumped by the rules that everyone races  
under. If you are running in normal SCCA road racing, the Corvair can run in  
three different classes.
1) Improved Touring A class -   Stock diameter drums  (242mm=9.5in) are 
required, no width is specified (hint, hint) 
2) E / Production  - Allows 9.5" drums all around. or 10.5"  rotors all 
around, but no four piston calipers. 
 
3) Gran  Touring 3 - Pretty much un-restricted
 
Also, in Vintage racing, most require OEM style drum brakes.
 
BUT - At  Corvair Time trials - Run what ya Brung!
