Gathering
at the
New Hampshire Vintage Celebration
Saturday, August 5th
Hello, sports fans - it’s time to take in a little vintage racing! August 2-6 are the dates for this year’s 10th Annual New Hampshire Vintage Celebration, a weekend of Vintage Sports Car Racing at New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon. Friday through Sunday, vintage racing sports cars and motorcycles take to the 1.6 mile road circuit.
Be sure to join your fellow AONE Alfisti to watch the races, admire the cars, and generally frolic and cavort on Saturday, August 5th! Club members Paul Glynn and Jim Hayes will be there racing their Giuliettas, and we must cheer them on! Details are a wee bit sketchy at this time, but it’s possible that Paul and Jim will be based around Kevin Fitzgerald’s enclosed race car trailer (with a canopy and a "viewing stand" on the roof), which would serve as the focal point of our club gathering. Otherwise, our AONE 10’ by 20’ canopy will mark the spot.
So get an early start Saturday, drive up to Louden, buy your infield tickets ($20), and look for the Glynn Motorsports setup and our Alfa banners in the pit/infield area! From there, you can roam around among the beautiful vintage racers and try out lots of different vantage points to watch the racing action. AONE will be providing some refreshments and there is a restaurant at the track. For more info, check out the NHIS web site, or contact Tom Lesko via email or at 781-749-9132. And check back to these pages for late-breaking news!

Don’t miss out - this is fun stuff!
Saturday, July 1 - Tuesday, July 4
Le Belle Macchine d’Italia is the
largest four-day all Italian automobile and motorcycle event in North America. This annual
event takes place during the July 4th holiday weekend in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of
Eastern Pennsylvania.
The 2000 edition dates are July 1 - 4. The host hotel is the Pocono Manor Inn & Golf Resort. The Concorso d’Eleganza will take place at the hotel’s golf course. The Track Event will take place at Pocono International Raceway, with professional instruction from the Skip Barber & Bertil Roos Driving Schools.
History - Since 1987 the owners of Ferraris, Maseratis and Lamborghinis have been gathering in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Eastern Pennsylvania, for a Concorso and 2 days of high speed driving at Pocono International Raceway. The following year, DeTomaso owners were invited to attend. The event continued unchanged until 1996 when owners of Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Iso/Bizzarrini and Lancia were invited. The expansion continued in 1997 with the addition of Italian motorcycles such as Bimota, Ducati and Moto Guzzi.
