Bring your Alfa and whatever parts or Alfabilia you might have lying around—we’ll be having a swap meet in the parking lot. The topic for the Tech Session hasn’t been determined as we go to press—check next month’s issue. If you’d like to suggest a topic, contact the Editor.

Glynn Motorsports is located at 120 Rear Haverhill Street, Rowley, MA 01909. Directions: From I-95 take Route 133 East toward Rowley, straight through a traffic light crossing Route 1, 1-2 miles and turn right at the sign for Glynn Motorsports. Proceed warily as you get close, since it’s easy to miss, although we’ll try to have our Alfa banners out front. There is a large lot to park, show your parts, and display your car.

You know, you don’t have to be a gearhead to enjoy one of these gatherings! There are lots of various Alfas to ogle, always lots of interesting cars in Paul’s shop, and lots of fellow Alfa enthusiasts to shoot the breeze with. Why, we’ve even had several females of the species in attendance of late! (One wouldn’t go so far as to say that it’s a great place to pick up chicks, however.)

The Alfa Romeo Owners of Connecticut chapter is again sponsoring two days of driver’s school, open practice and timed laps at Lime Rock Park. Everything possible has been done to keep the fees reasonable, and there will be a car limit of 60 per day to maximize your track time.

This year marks the return to the traditional format of two track days. Friday’s focus will be classroom and track instruction for the less-experienced drivers and practice sessions on the track for the more-experienced veterans.

All cars must come to the track pre-tech inspected. Unchanged this year is the requirement for a Snell-90 or newer helmet; also, safety equipment (seat belts, roll-bar coverage) must be identical for driver and front passenger. Those of you with open cars will need to have an SCCA-legal roll bar that extends two inches above both driver’s and passenger’s helmets—insurance rules no longer allow cars with street roll bars onto the track.

The first group will be on the track at 9:00 sharp, the earliest that local ordinances allow. ARO-CT has the reputation of running the smoothest and safest track event around, and this year will be no different.

Cost is $165 per day or $250 for both days if you sign up before March 31, $200/$300 after. Contact ARO-CT’s Mario Romagnoli for more information on this wonderful event (or if you’d like to volunteer to help). He can be reached at (914) 693-7426 evenings, via email, or by fax anytime at (914) 693-1636.
