Hey Alan,

Thanks for pics of my old Corvair!

I bought that car from that owner that got busted (sans nitrous) and rebuilt it to legal stocker specs and ran Div 5 afterward. Later it became a streeter. I was probably standing by you when the car ran. I remember the car hit third gear and went pop-pop-pop and roared off to the finish! The tech guy next to me (You?) just looked at me turned around and went over to the return road and flagged him down to teardown.

What a show! Thanks for the memories. That car has been gone almost 25 years. FYI: I had the back seat out at tech with my first race with it!
