Warren and I and some other corvairs will be attending the autocross this Saturday if anyone is interested in watching.

I plan on attending along with some of my fellow Derby City Corvair club members.

How come there are so many cones knocked over in the pics of Micheal's car?

If you look at the side of the car it has an L on the side for ladies class so it wasnt me. Those cones are down on purpose to show the direction of the course.

Oh ok. Sure.




I'm just messing with you anyway.
I have never autocrossed. My wife wants to do it, I'm trying to get her to drive my Corvair but she says she doesn't want to hurt it. She wants to do it in her Scion tC but I don't want her hurting that one since it's her daily driver.

She (or you) won't hurt your Corvair if you autocross it. Some folks estimate an autocross event is the equivalent of driving 500 miles on the car as far as wear and tear is concerned. With street tires and stock (no quick box) steering you won't be hurting anything. I have been flogging my current build in Street Prepared for several years and it's still alive

Bryan Blackwell has a *very* good Corvair autocross website here: http://autoxer.skiblack.com/

Watch out, it's addicting
