The photo is current, but the videos were taken by John Katos in 2003. The viewing area is some distance from the course so you'll see the chute a couple seconds before you hear it.

Thats awesome!! Do you still have the red GTV that you brought to the Fall Fest several years ago? That would be nice to see again.

Jim, You ought to share some pictures of that beast. I think that it is probably one of the few Alfas out there with a one piece doghouse and a giant stainless side pipe as big as a Vipers.

Guys, look here: AutoComponenti - 4SFED - Turbo Tube Frame GTV The contents haven't been updated recently, but the evidence of Jim's design and fabrication skills must be seen.

Found a long version

Built by Jim Steck at AutoComponenti this 2.0 liter turbocharged Twin Spark Alfa Romeo Spider is the fastest Alfa ever made! It currently holds the B/GMS Land Speed Record at Bonneville at over 217 MPH!

Jim,

Thanks for sharing the vids.....by the way, Dick Kirzinger (now my father-in-law) says Hi!
Did I ever thank you for storing that Spider hard top I bought at Fall Fest many years ago?? If not:

THANKS!
