<VV> [fastvair] Jefferson 500 at Summit Point Raceway this past weekend, 15-18 May 2014

Chuck- waay cool!! I'm curious though- for the IMSA RS reunion, will Dave have to adjust his displacement to run- or will they allow a larger engine for that- late engines never had "less than 2.5 L"- how do they handle that? look the other way???

Dave Edsinger and I raced our Yenko Stingers at the 
Brian Redmond's Jefferson 500 at Summit Point this past weekend. This race is 
put on by the Vintage Racing Group (VRG). By registering early, we were 
able to have a free test day on Thurs, the 15th.   We both went out 
track on Thursday. My car, #73, ran reasonably well, although it was 
rpm-limited at around 6000 rpm. 

Running on track on Thursday proved to be 
fruitful as it rained heavily in the area on Thurs eve and Fri morning, 
resulting in flooding of the track, access roads, surrounding areas, etc. Track 
personnel were very efficient, pumping standing water away and cleaning the 
track so that we were able to get cars on track by 11 am on Friday. The 
next day, on Saturday, we had our first race. Dave started around 8th? and I at 
23rd in a field of 37 cars. I finished 18th and second in class. Dave had fan 
belt issues at the last lap.  
  
The IMSA RS reunion for Trans Am cars of less than 
2.5 L held their Ninth Reunion. Since Corvair Yenko Stingers ran in that IMSA 
series, we are invited to participate in the race.  Dave did so. I am 
looking forward to driving in their tenth reunion next year at the Jefferson 500 
at Summit Point. 
  
All in all, a very good weekend. Weather turned out 
to be great; sunny, cool.  Both cars performed well, looked great, received 
a gazillion compliments and drove into their trailers at the end of the 
day.
