False.  The insurance is available to any organization that wishes to 
purchase it.  That being said, the NECC, by virtue of sanctioning 
multiple events each year, gets a lower per-event insurance rate.

Semi-true.  The NECC (Northeast Corvair Council) is not itself a 
Chapter, but it is an association of CORSA Chapters.  Because the 
NECC is comprised of CORSA Chapters, CORSA has been generous with its 
support under the terms of the Chapter Plan.

True.

Again, semi-true.  Participation and attendance appears to be 
bolstered more by the enthusiasm of participating members than 
whether there is necessarily a convention tie-in.  Scheduling, 
geography, and other factors all affect the size and success of a track event.

The NECC is already looking at what-and-where for 2010.
