V8 Registry Newsletter, Volume 10, Number 4- July, 2022
V-8 Registry Members,
It's less than two weeks from the start of the CORSA International Corvair Convention in Peachtree City, GA 30269 starting July 12. The Crown Plaza Hotel located at 201 Aberdeen Pkwy is full, but there are hotel rooms available in the area. Call 1-770-487-2666 or 855-680-3239 for reservation information. The Hilton Garden Inn across the street still has rooms available. It's not too late to participate. This convention may well be one of the best conventions in years based on the groups hosting the convention and the location. Give it some thought. Next year the convention is in Wisconsin.
ANNUAL MEETING
The V-8 Registry Annual Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 14 at Cory Black's home. We are expecting about 30 members and friends. The party will start at 6:00 PM and the meeting will be held during the event. Food and drink will be provided. If the temperature is hot, Cory plans to host the gathering in his air conditioned garage. If you have a folding chair, bring it. From the Crown Plaza Hotel, here's the directions to Cory's home:
DIRECTIONS
1. Head northeast toward Aberdeen Pkwy - Drive for 0.3 miles
2. Slight left onto Aberdeen Pkwy - Drive 0.6 miles
3. Turn right onto Northlake Drive - Drive 0.1 miles

Cory Black's address is 153 Brogdon Road; Fayetteville, GA 30214
If you have not contacted me regarding your plans to attend the party, please do so by responding to this email or by phone/text.
As mentioned in my previous newsletter, door prizes will be given out during the party. V-8 Registry merchandise will be offered. There will also be a limited number of items available for purchase.
The Annual Meeting offers you the opportunity to voice your opinion about the group and how we conduct business. If you want to see changes made with the operation of the V-8 Registry, members are welcome to add a topic to the meeting agenda and speak before the group. We ask that you contact our president before the meeting with your agenda topic.
AUTOCROSS AT ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY
For those interested in a fast moving event, the CORSA autocross will be held on Friday, July 15 at the speedway. This offers our members a chance to showcase their driving skills as you compete for the Ted Trevor Award. The award will be presented to the member who has the best time of day in either CLASS SM-2 or SC-1. If you win the Ted Trevor Award, you will also receive a check for $100. If that person also is awarded the best time for the entire event, another $100 will be awarded. We look forward to seeing a number of Corvair Conversions on the track. Let's give the spectators something to get excited about.
CONVERSIONS FOR SALE
As previously mentioned, a number of members have conversions to sale this summer. If you are still looking for the right car, send me a note and we can discuss what's available. For those needing a good body for a new project, I have some candidates.
Until the next time, GO FAST, BUT STAY SAFE.
John, President
