I'll be there, only missed a few of them since the first. A very fun, relaxed event and hey it's on Coronado Island.

Congrats, Anthony. It will be great to see more Alfas in the mix.

The AROCSD will have an Alfa Corral in the car club area; we are usually right behind the main grandstands. Look for our banner. We might have some corral passes available after tomorrow. If you would like one, PM me with your contact info. These corral passes are for preferred parking of Alfas, you still need to purchase admission to the event.

Looking forward to this event. Manu and I will be in the Corral!

Wish we were going, I have been itching to run the Alfa, but it's the National Runoffs' week and we are heading to Kansas. We will be having fun, but I wish we could do both.

Should be a great race Anthony.

Hope to see you and the other 4 GTA's going at it on Sunday. Should make for an interesting race.

Today was a real special treat for Alfisti, I was in heaven. Seeing and watching race four beautiful and period correct GTA's all lined up together pre-grid and then batteling it out was like a time warp, was just awesome. (Big congrats to Anthony, he must of been having so much fun, I know I was just watching him and the other GTA's race).

Not to mention a SZ that gave the crowd their money's worth after toe to toe laps with a pesky Porsche (darn thing had modified suspension). The most incredible thing for me was to stand next to the actual 1935 Tipo B P3 that Nuvolari won the 1935 German Grand Prix, silencing Mercedes, Auto Union and the third reich in Germany. Then to watch that car go out and race was just incredible!

Great pics, thank you for sharing!

The Ginetta's and Elva's were sure frusterating. They are so damm light!

Love the look of the hard top Ginetta!
