Corvairs, Bayshore Corvair Association, Capital District Corvair Club,

Corvair Club, Long Island Corvair Association, New Jersey Association of
Corvair Enthusiasts, and Northern Virginia Corvair Club.
Question: Are NECC events open to cars other than Corvairs?
Answer: Yes, most certainly! Over the
years, we've opened up our track events not only to Corvairs but also
other makes of cars. Our starting grid often includes Porsches, Mazdas,
Mustangs, Camaros, Mini Coopers and more. At our time trials, lap times
are recorded for all cars. Drivers of all cars are treated equally with
respect to safety requirements, driving rules, tech inspection, track
time, etc.
