<VV> CORVAIRS AT ROAD ATLANTA / MAY 1,2,3,-2009

[Louis Armer]

Hi Everyone, Myself, Spence Shephard, Chuck Sadek 
and Sarah Beltrami have been working on an idea 
for several months and would like to spread the 
word now as it looks like we can make it work 
with support from fellow Corvair owners and CORSA 
members. This 50th year of Corvairs is obviously 
special and several events have been planned to honor the Anniversary.
      The Road Atlanta racing course has a race 
weekend every year called the Walter Mitty. It is 
a three day event and is a Vintage racer event. 
This year the Corvair racers want to put an 
emphasis on Corvairs racing in this special 
Vintage race event. We now have  at least 7 
Corvair racers who have committed to racing on this weekend.
      Now here is where everyone else fits in. We 
are having a Corvair corral within the American 
Marques corral in the infield area of Road 
Atlanta. Our goal is to have at least 20 Corvairs 
in the corral. It will be great if we can have at 
least one Corvair from each year 1960 thru 1969 
and even better if we have at least one of each 
model including of course FC's. The 20 Corvair 
count would be easily achieved if we had one 
model of each Corvair from each year.
      We plan to have CORSA brochures and CORSA 
membership applications as well as free 
COMMUNIQUE issues available at the corral and 
also at the Road course for the full three days.
      The below information shows all the options 
for attending the event. Our plan for maximum 
corral attendance is for Saturday. You can park 
your Corvair in the corral each day you attend if you pay for infield access.
      One day, LIKE SATURDAY, will cost $25 plus 
$10 to attend all day and be able to park in the 
infield and IN THE CORVAIR CORRAL if you pay 
AFTER 4-17.............................AS NOTED 
BELOW if you purchase a 3 day SUPER TICKET BEFORE 
4-17 it would only cost $45 total FOR ALL THREE 
DAYS and of course you would have all the above privileges for all three days.
      We are also working on reducing overall 
expenses to Corvair corral participants by using 
excess crew passes from the Corvair racers. 
Hopefully some of the Corvair racers will donate 
their extra crew passes so we can defray the cost 
of Corvair corral attendance. WE NEED YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE CORRAL
      You will be able to come and go as you wish 
from the corral area. There are food concessions, 
bathrooms, spectator stands and huge track 
viewing areas available in the corral/infield 
area. You are encouraged to also bring your own 
chairs, drinks, food, umbrellas, cameras, 
sunscreen etc. This is a spectator friendly event 
and the more you stay the more you will enjoy it.
      This is the weekend after Corvair Atlanta's 
Annual Springfest so that allows you to attend 
with no conflicts of interest or harming attendance at Springfest

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT YOU CAN DRIVE PARADE LAPS 
ON EACH DAY AROUND NOON TIME DURING THE RACERS 
"QUIET TIME" THERE IS AN EXTRA CHARGE TO DRIVE 
THE COURSE IN THE PARADE LAPS. THE COURSE IS OVER 2.4 MILES.

If you have any questions, Please email me off list
Thanks, Chuck Armer
