Big change for the 2018 GWFBT!!


The 41st annual Great Western Fan Belt Toss and Swap Meet is being hosted by the San Diego Corvair Club on Friday, October 26 to Sunday, October 28, 2018. Sunrise Park in Palm Springs, California will again be the site of the “Toss”.

Because the San Diego Corvair Club is also hosting the CORSA 2020 National Convention. We plan to offer a Practice Concours d' Elegance in conjunction with the three day event. Our purpose is as follows:

1. Familiarize participants with international CORSA Concours rules.
2. Refresh concours judges with judging procedures, particularly recent changes in international CORSA Concours rules.
3. Train those persons interested in being concours judges.
4. Provide participants with written feedback on the concours preparation of their vehicles.
5. Enable participants to make improvements to their vehicles in anticipation of the International Convention, to be held in San Diego, California, July, 2020.

Please consider this communication as a formal invitation to attend the 2018 Great Western Fan Belt Toss & Swap Meet, and to participate in this Practice Concours. Plan to attend as a participant; as a judge to "tune up" your skills; or as a partcipant to learn the art of concours judging. Bring your Corvair - you will receive a written, accurate appraisal of its' concours score to prepare your car for the Internantional Convention in San Diego in 2020.

Participants will receive a set of CORSA Concours Rules, together with a tutorial for participants, experienced judges, and persons who desire to be judges. During the actual judging of vehicles, experienced judges will be paired with persons who
desire to be judges. Since this is a Practice Concours, no awards will be given. However, the highest scoring vehicles and their owners will be publicly recognized at the Saturday Banquet.

PAVILION FIELD ACTIVITES From Friday noon until Sunday, October 28, 2018, the outfield of the baseball park will be open for GWFBT&SM activites. RV parking will be assigned along the fence line. There are only a limited number of spots available and all are "dry". RV fee for the entire weekend is $60. That is $60 for one night or for 2 nights, (not $30/night).

We encourage early registration as spaces will be assigned as they are received. Come early for the Swap Meet, so you don’t miss those rare items we all just have to buy!


"Group Tour" We anticipate a "spontaneous" Corvair tour/caravan from Sunrise Park to the banquet meeting at the Elks Lodge. Same as last year. Great fun!
Perhaps even driving by some of the famous "mid century modern" homes as depicted in this year's Great Western Fan Belt Toss logo (see post #1 in this thread).



BANQUET Speaker will be Mike Hall, President, Corvair Preservation Foundation Saturday evening at the Palm Springs Elks Lodge, 7:00 p.m. Sure to be a vairy informative and interesting presentation! Don't miss out on this highlight!

Raffel tickets are $5.00 each or 5 tickets for $20.00

Registration forms are now avaliable!!! We are also processing credit cards for registration this year!!!Visit San Diego Corvair Club Fan Belt Toss webpage to download form and for more information.

http://www.sandiegocorvair.com/2018-fan-belt-toss.html

Small correction to the registration form: Registration is a flat $10 for one or the whole family. NOT $10 per person.

Banquet will be at Elks #1905 same as last several years. Food will be provided by the same caterer as last year, but will be Italian this year. We, Anita and I recently went to the restaurant for a taste test. The food was great. Anita was very happy with the food - Anita knows good Italian food, she was born in Italy.

The Host hotel has changed it's name. New name is Travelodge by Wyndham. Nothing else has changed. Same phone number, same $72/night special rate, lots of parking for cars and trailers. Mention Corvair Club event to get special pricing.
