Bicht GTA 613633
Any one have any info on this car's whereabouts or indeed John Bicht himself.
Marco Fazio says it was imported by Alfa Inc US 1966, red with black interior.
A stradale that went racing?
I'm thinking maybe the car was a rollover, don't know exactly when.
Any info appreciated

Bicht GTA
I saw this car in a disassembled and cut up state in Newtown Square, PA in the early 80's(I think). I believe it went to either Atlanta or Ohio. Hope that helps.

Quick explanation.
Could some one give me a brief outline on what the class differences between B Sedan and C Sedan are.
Here in Aus the racing categories are configured differently.
Thanks
Tim

B Sedan and C Sedan were from the class 60s-70s SCCA classes.
A-H Production (sports cars), with A being the fastest and most powerful (Corvettes, Ferraris) and H being the slowest (small Fiats, etc.).
Same with Sedans: A Sedan would be Camaros, Shelby Mustangs, etc. through B, and C being Alfa GT Jr, Fiat 850s, etc. Was there D Sedan? I can't remember.

The main difference between the two classes was engine displacement. B Sedan was 1600cc and C Sedan was 1300cc. I belive there were a couple other things such as wheel size. Anyone know all the details?

I've seen this car ... and it's one of the roughest prepared race cars I've ever seen. I imagine Les has since tidied it up somewhat, but do not know. When I saw it he had just got it. It was an interesting car and apparently had never been road registered.
