Good day!

I am sure these are posted out there somewhere but if so, Google and searching VV archives have not revealed their location.  Can someone point me to where the 2011 Convention results (Econo-run, Rally, etc...) have been posted?

Stefani and I had a GREAT time at the convention!  Had to leave on Friday but right now work is taking precedence over play.  I really enjoyed seeing old friends again and making new ones.  

The convertible got us from Topeka and back without any major trouble however it doesn't want to idle.  I just today, did a compression test and #1 cylinder is less than 1/2 the others.  I had suspected that for some time.  It must be getting worse.  Lots of blow-by evidenced by the crankcase vent tube and all the oil sitting in the air cleaner.  Need to decide How I will approach this problem.  (complete tear-down, fix one cylinder, have someone build me a new engine?)  It still drives but it won't idle in drive.  I Even had lc look at it in Denver and he said it's the best it can be and needs a "blow-botomy".  On a much happier note, after babying the 'new' 66 Corsa (28,000 orig. miles) back to life, I heard it run last week.  It sounds better than ANY other Corvair I've owned (I've owned 15 different ones).  I guess that's what a new Corvair sounded like.  Still lots of work to do before I drive it but at least one major hurdle is cleared.

Take care!
