<VV> SERIOUS PROBLEMS - 2011 CORSA CONVENTION DATES

[tim mahler]

Serious???  It's a car show. <grin>

Counter points
1) it is impossible to schedule ANY event without conflicting with another.
2) The VCCA event is their 50th anniversary as well as chevy's 100th.
3) To attend -- like CORSA convention -- you need to be a member of the club
4) There will be  MANY 100 anniversary events for the Chevrolet.  This is 
but one.
5) VCCA is a FACTORY STOCK Chevrolet event.  Bill Hubbell "Alice" is 
elibible to be shown. Few other CORSA Corvairs will be -- relegated to the 
back lot.  This includes both of my well documented Fitch Sprints, both 
altered from factory thus prohibited to be shown. It's part of the core 
essence of VCCA. Altered vehicles are not scorned, but also not eligible for 
any awards, reaffirmed this year.
6) I am a member of VCCA, and have not even considered attending this event 
vs CORSA's event. See #5.
7) VCCA will do 1 or 2 tours, a driving tour and a car show. CORSA will have 
tech sessions, Rally, econo-run, autocross, Concours and Car display.
8) CORSA will have a few factory stock Corvairs plus lots of variations to 
stock
9) There will be many other anniversary events to attend  see #1 and 2.
10) I really enjoy all my CORSA friends, even those who disagree with me.
