13TH ANNUAL CORVAIR SPRING WARM-UP
True to form, the Central Carolina Corsa sponsored another great show on March 12-14 at Myrtle
Beach. The weather was perfect and the awards were given to the following club members:
Early 4-door models:
Early convertible:
Late hardtop:
Games of skill:
Norma Callahan & Rick/Lisa Wood
Jim Cleese
Joel Swaney
Don & Karen Marlowe
Lisa Wood and Fran Pittman entered the "PMS" Express in the valve cover races. While the car was
not a winner on the track, it was a great hit. With some fine tuning and refinement, next time it might
be the winner.
Quite a few members of the Lowcountry Corvair Association attended the weekend event and a great
time was had by all.
Thanks to all the members of Central Carolina Corsa for organizing and sponsoring this annual
event. It represents a lot of "hard work & planning" by their club and it is most appreciated.
