Bruce,
First of all, thank you for the info. I am sure it will be very helpful. That will be a funny license plate frame. I expected a GTV to not be quite as fast as my 1973 911 track car, but your quote made me wonder if maybe the Alfa's were faster than I expected. I wondered how the times for my car at Willow would compare to a GTV so I went to the AROSC website and got this.
WILLOW SPRINGS
A 100.48 SPERRY, MIKE GTV / /86
B 96.434 HENDERSON, ROBIN GTV 2/5/95
C 100.485 BROWN, ALEX GTV 11/14/99
D 100.67 BROWN, ALEX GTV 12/4/94
E 105.139 BROWN, ALEX GTV 2/9/92

Q 102.926 CLEMENS, BRUCE" 912 1/14/01
MX 87.178 HAMILTON, STEVE T49 LOLA 2/1/98
MF 93.161 KUNZ, JOE 308 2/1/98
MM 84.827 CRESINTINI, DINO GTV SPEC 11/10/91
FA 104.347 TREJO, ARTHUR 308 GTS 2/5/95
Z 98.138 STOEHR, DIRK GTV/GT3 1/14/01
It looks like only the Lola and a GTV SPEC have got my car beat, but what the heck is a GTV Spec with Dino Cresintini driving it? Holy smoke that thing is fast!
It looks like my Porsche would be really fast at an Alfa Romeo event, BUT, I don't think that speed is everything. I think that the Alfa has a uniqueness and a mystery about them that Porsche does not have due to their popularity. Any other replies are greatly appreciated. I am reading everything I can find right now.
Thanks guys
