1 The Vair Fax Congrats to Patrick Zeman and his 1964 Spyder convertible...overall winner 2 years in a row! From the Editor It was great to have yet another fun and successful Springfest. I hope everyone that attended had as much fun as we did. After Friday s rain passed, we had great (but chilly) sunny skies. It was a big show too. Here are a few statistics for you: 148 Registrations with 283 people Unfortunately, 12 people cancelled for health reasons. We had 29 clubs from 11 states represented. We ll do it again next year, and Clark s should be there as well. If you have anything to submit for the newsletter, please it to 66corsa@cox.net, or mail it to: The Vair Fax c/o David Clamp 212 Old Bridge Road Warner Robins, GA A Special Thank You A special thank you to all of our club members that stepped up and made Springfest 13 so successful: It takes all of us and a few people outside of our clubs to make this the best Corvair event in the Southeast each year. I am amazed each year when we have our joint planning meeting at the response we get volunteering to take jobs. We make new friends each year and are so grateful to see old friends. I have already started making contacts for Springfest 2014, 30 years in Helen Georgia. I have requested good weather and we may or may not get it. Having the Queen City Corvair Club join us in putting on this event has made it more fun and easier for all of us. Thanks, Lillian Officers for 2013: President:! Joe Gleaton!
