Northeast Corvair Council Track Report - Sept 24, 2016

Post by Allan Lacki »

Hi Everybody!

Our September 24, 2016 high performance driving event at New York Safety Track was great fun! 15-minute sessions all day, alternating between cars and sport bikes. 34 car drivers signed up, and at least 32 drove on the track that day. As usual, we had a great mix. Horsepower ratings ranged from 90 for an MG Midget to 525 for an A/C Cobra replica.

We can't provide the names of all the drivers, but we can provide a list of the makes and models of cars, so here it is!

Alfa Romeo GTV6
BMW 325xi
BMW 528e
BMW M235i
Chevrolet Corvette
Chevrolet Corvair
Chevrolet Chevette
Ford Cobra replica
Ford Fiesta ST
Ford Mustang
Honda CRX
Maserati Bi Turbo
MG Midget
Nissan 350Z
Pontiac Firebird
Porsche 944 turbo
Red Devil F 440
Toyota Yaris
Volkswagen Golf
Volkswagen GTI
VW Scirocco

Six of the cars were Corvairs. They were driven by Bruce Carlton, Jay Dover, John Egerton, Brian O'Neill, Joe Salmestrelli, and Terry Stafford. Joe Salmestrelli's is a mid-engine version with a 500 hp 350 Chevy small block V8. Jay Dover's Corvair is a front engine Lakewood with another small block Chevy V8. Ray and Kevin Zabinski drove their blazing fast Chevette, which is now powered by a 3800 Buick V6.

I left my Corvair home this time. I drove my 2008 Yaris instead. In fact, we had two 2008 Toyota Yaris hatchbacks.
