Thanks for the compliment.
I was just one of quite a few fast guys in classes that, sometimes, favored
the higher horsepowered Corvairs. I also had the luck of having the right
set-up for the right course in some of the four different Corvairs I
autocrossed.. At times, we did walk the course, as I recall, and I'd look at
the course and make alignment changes to the rear of the car to deal with,
what I expected to be a tight or loose course. Guessed right on a few
occasions. Some of the guys were still at the stage where they were adding
sand bags in their Corvair trunks to "hold the front end down".
