<VV> Econo run, was space-saver spare tire

[wrsssatty at aol.com]

The lawyer in me has long felt the same way about the advisability of the convention "Econo Run" given the way so many participants run it over open roads.  Sounds to me like a major lawsuit just waiting to happen!  People need to chill out, enjoy the convention and stop worrying about acquiring another cheap plastic trophy or winning the Ed Cole Award.

<When leaving the convention in Flagstaff in a rental car, headed for
Phoenix, I damn near rear ended a Corvair that I assumed was in the econ
run that was running at that time. The driver has apparently killed power
prior to the long downhill after the near crest. I was going about 75 and
the Corvair maybe was doing 40.

Silly tricks like that and the spare tires make me think that the econo run
should be eliminated from Corvair events. At the very least, keep the off
the freeway!>
