I haven't had my morning coffee yet so maybe I'm dreaming......
Do you guys actually have an Alfa wheel to wheel racing series?
Do you have a race some time in March?
If I could get a semi full of Midwest Alfa vintage racers together would we be allowed to compete in one event?

Since most of you west coasters chickened out of our all Alfa race at the Chicago convention, maybe we will have to come to you.

Do you ever race at Laguna Seca? I think I could get some people together for that easier anything else.

This is a "Heads Up" that there is a new track being built in the Chuckwalla Valley (just outside Desert Center off the I-10 about 40 mi West of Indio). I know, there's always some sort of rumor going around about a track being built but one sounds much better than most. We'll talked to the people building it and they say the will break ground in July and be ready to run in the fall. We'll be keeping track and I'll keep you posted whenever I learn anything useful.

In the mean time, we, in conjunction with TCRA, have a tentative date scheduled for November 14 & 15 so mark your calendars. I haven't posted it on the AROSC website but I expect to shortly.

It's really in the middle of nowhere. There aren't any amenities for miles. And it gets really hot out there.

With the economy going more sour everyday in California, I can't think of a worse time to open a new track. My lack of participation in the last year has been due to the economy. I'm also restoring a 1968 Mustang that I want to run at time trials--the Mustang is competing for my limited car hobby funds.

There are some elevation gradients on the site map. Looks like a slight elevation change at the apex to #2 (going CW)

, appears to be a sharp off camber change at the chicane before the back straight

. Back straight seems to be a steady climb with a quick drop into the esses at the end

.
Packed and ready to go.
