2015 Corvair Performance Workshop
Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2015 8:31 amGuys,
It's early January, but not to soon to start planning for the CPW in March. A new venue in Kokomo, IN has been chosen for 2015. Last year the V-8 Registry had 14 members in attendance. That's as many members as participated in Tacoma at the 2014 CORSA convention. Our members should consider this regional Corvair workshop as one of our main meeting destinations as a group. Perhaps we can turn the CPW into a much bigger event than it is now. If finances permit, we will see about having a seperate get together for members at this event. Here's the details to date.
JANUARY 14th UPDATE:
Russ Brandenburg is trailering his latest V-8 Conversion to the Workshop for a 'Show & Tell' presentation during the workshop. This is a unique build that everyone will want to see.
