I'm looking for volunteers to be expert riders for the Corvair Club private autocross on Saturday October 15th at Lone Star Park. You will be allowed to run your car on course for 6 runs in the exhibition class. In exchange, you will need to be available to ride with and instruct the participants. If you are interested please PM me. We have a limited number of positions available.
Thanks,
Calling Ralph Nadar....

Gary K is the only one that has autocrossed a Corvair.
It was before my time but ER and the Corvair club have a lot of history together.
I have seen video of autocrosses in the 1960's and Corvair's were popular.
Did they have seat belts back then?
They are aware that seat belts and helmets are requred. There are a few that run EM and CP at nationals.
I have so got to clear a spot on my calendar for this... der donut wagen needs some autox time, and I'm pretty sure I have an extra fire extinguisher...
I so want to see a corvair van run the circuit. ::Drive2::
Yes I have owned a few 1965 and 1966 Corvairs (one was a Corv8 with a 350 Chevy where the backseat used to be :burnrubr:) and autocrossed them too. I think another, current, autocrosser has owned a Corvair or 2 and ran them also. Many years ago, of course.
Yes, they had seat belts.

NealB is now officially at the top of my "Badass" list.
Equipe Rapide actually started as the autocross group of the Corvair Club.Quote:

I've heard stories which involved a tractor, watermelons, and a large amount of vodka. I think he is still on the banned list at Hertz rental car.Quote:

Still looking for volunteers.
Still looking for a couple of instructor/rider/exhibition drivers.

What a hoot! Corvairs are cool, and we had 0 fires.
