About a month ago, Tom Letourneau had an opportunity to attend a tech session at KTR Motorsports in Ayer, MA with the Jaguar club. After spending the day there drooling over the many sports and vintage street and race cars that they maintain, he knew that his fellow AONE members would also welcome an opportunity to visit this facility and meet the people who run it.

If you’ve attended vintage sports car events throughout the Northeast, you’ve surely spotted KTR vehicles, trailers, and cars sporting KTR logos. Several well-prepared Alfa race cars in various stages of work are always in KTR’s shop. They also work on a number of street Alfas and other older makes of European vehicles, but Alfa Romeo is right up there among their specialties.

In addition to viewing this candy store of vintage racers, we’ll be treated to a presentation and viewing of the new Noble M400 super car. KTR does the final assembly and is the New England authorized installation facility for the Noble. This car is something to see and behold!

We’ll also get to see KTR’s brand-new computerized four-wheel chassis dyno that they now use for doing high-performance tuning and tweaking of their customers’ race and street cars. Tom reports that all of the Jag club members who patronized KTR had nothing but compliments about the staff, their work, and their pricing. So if you’re looking for an alternative for you Alfa’s servicing needs, here’s yet another reason to show up!

The tech session, Noble presentation, and walk-through of the KTR facility will start at approximately 11am, but feel free to show up a little early. We’ll break for lunch at noon, and this will be special too—things like chowder, chili, wrap sandwiches, dessert, coffee, and other accoutrements. Lunch is $10 per person, and you must contact Tom at Alfaracer1@cox.net, 401-334-3315 (home), or 401-651-3346 (cell) to let him know you’re coming (and with how many people) since we need to plan the food. 

And this just in! Remember how we told you that you'll be treated to a presentation and viewing of the new Noble M400 super car? Turns out that the M400 we'll be ogling belongs to none other than AONE member Roger Cassin, whose beautiful 1954 1900CSS graces the cover of this month's Velocissima. Roger's partner/manager Paul Wilson will be making the presentation, and get this! Paul suggested to Roger that we draw names from a hat and that he give a couple of rides in his Noble as door prizes. He enthusiastically agreed to the idea, so bring along your favorite lucky charm!

If you want to get an idea of what the KTR facility is like, visit the KTR web site. This will be one of AONE’s "must-do" events of the year, so don’t miss it!

The deadline for registering for lunch has past,
but pack a sandwich and come along anyway!
