Attached are 2 PDF's of the 1969 Bryar TA program high lights and the starting grid.

The lone Alfa driven by Gaston Andrey, GTA #25, AR*752507, finished 1st in class over Bert Everett's Porsche

Bert Everett, featured in the program, was on Porche in these years but went to Alfa GTA in 1970, buying #25 from Andrey, in time for the 1970 TA race at Mid-Ohio.

Here are photo's of the 1970 TA champ taken at the Alfa convention in Chicago(home of the 1970 Alfa Trans Am Champion team). Knauz did not bring the trophys they have up in Lake Forest this time. You can get a tour of the AUSCA/Knauz showroom if you ask.

John Norman still runs that car. It is really fast. He was classed with the Porsche 935s and Chevrons last year at the Wine Country Classics. He did an amazing job of holding off some of the big turboed 935s. He's also an amazing driver.

Hmmm, can't seem to get a link to work. But, to accompany the shots of Horst Kwech after the Sebring race ("More Kwech Sebring photos") , here is the start:

Nice shots. Larry Ogle From Knauz didn't make it to the Chicago convention this year. He was planning on bringing the AUSCA trophy case with him!!

Thanks George,
These are great. They are from 67 and 68 combined. The Red,White and Green cars are 67 and the all Green car is 68. I'm not sure about the other cars.

Note the ultra rare (I've only seen them in the comp catalog) Chassis Engineering three peice wheels on the Shankle car.

PAUGNUT1275 · #**494** (**permalink**) 11-21-2008, 08:10 PM

Hi
Also note on the Shankle car that it is RHD and has a Kwech style cut out grill.
Any idea where this one went?

Scott Gray owns this car. Here is another photo with a different number, but the same distinctive paint scheme. There was a belief that the Kwech cut up grill improved cooling.
