<VV> Driving Vairs

[Frank DuVal]

Thanks again, Smitty, for lending Spike to all of us who wanted to drive it.

Autocross results:

1st. Smitty Smith
 
2nd Paul Whelan

3rd  Frank DuVal

OK, so I couldn't beat the two people who have the most seat time in 
Spike....

But it was still a GREAT time!

After everyone finished I did take a fun run in my 1966 Monza 4 door 
hardtop sedan with factory air. Of course I ran it with the AC on and 
the windows closed to keep the dirt out. Hmm, 95 HP PG with AC on is a 
few seconds slower than Spike!

You all missed a great event.

Thanks again to Paul & Tina for hosting the Hoe-Down.

I should live closer to Smitty so I could help power washing Spike.

There was camping and racing in the pasture, quadsports, go carts, a never ending potluck, late night bonfires, a hay ride, kids and dogs and just plain old visiting.  Had some lovely Corvairs in the exclusive Corvair parking area.  Spike did his part to make them less lovely in the (over a minute) autocross by putting a roostertail of dirt in the air at every acceleration.  Poor ole dog was in demand by everyone that thought they could run faster than the "Master".  I think it's safe to say Spike did about 50 laps of the field.  Any Corvair owner that lives within a half days drive of Dinwiddy VA that misses that event, misses a good one.  Admission is a pot for the potluck.  Can't get a better deal than that.
