There are a lot of people here who have pictures of Alfa's racing in the Trans Am series. Let's post all the pictures we can find here on this thread. Here are just a few of what I have. I need to scan more.

Ken thanks for taking the time to scan all these pages. I know how much work this entails and really appreciate your effort. This is probably the best thread about Alfa's Trans-Am history in the world.
Thanks Bob, I had 3 hrs copying and photographing CP&A at the Archive and then many more than that doing cut, paste, scan and post. And as happens managed to miss part of a report here and there so can not post.

I still have a few more from this recent visit to post then I need to make up an index to the articles posted so we can see what is missing.

ciao

Ken

1971 LAguna Seca TA Report from CP&A

1971 Laguna Seca TA Report from CP&A, Nov 6, 1971. The one Anthony R has been waiting for. I posted some pictures from this report in an earlier thread.

My appologies as I still managed after 2 visits to the Archive at the Glen to mess up the photocopying of the side bar on the tank measurement.

I wonder how many gallons the Datsun fuel tank would have held since it was the same size and brand. Since the Alfa used less then the allowed amount of fuel it should have been overlooked by the officials. Typical racing politics pandering to the one with the biggest checkbook.

Was over at Knauz just north of Chicago and they still have the SCCA AUSCA trophy's on display. The AUSCA Duetto and a large display of German cars is also on display in the dealers museum.

1967 Daytona Trans Am Entry list from the Program

I have been speaking with Jack Stokes who posted some pictures on the VIR History site and found that he also attended the 1967 Daytona event which had the Trans Am run as a support race to 24 hour race. Or at least that is how I think it was. Some GTAs ran both events and some one or the other.

Jack kindly sent me the 1967 Daytona Trans Am Entry list from the Program.

Steel Bodied GTs from the 1972 Trans Am

Hi, wonder if anyone knows the where abouts of any of the following steel bodied GTVs that ran the 1971 and/or the 1972 Trans Am.

AR GTV Diamanti #89; AR GTV Quinlin; AR GTV Tomasello

The word doc shows the 1972 races where they are listed. Quinlin also ran a race in 1971.

4 other steel bodied GTs are known plus one that is said wrecked and parted.
