Looking good.

Well, a year's planning and lots of man hours spent by a bunch of keen Alfisti's, the Alfa Club 6hr is only around the corner.

So I invite all members and Alfisti's to come on up (or down or across) to Winton on either or both days of the weekend to witness the spectacular event and racing.  There will be 13 Alfa teams and 64 Alfisti's in Alfa's competing amongst the other 30 odd teams for the coveted honour of being regular.

It is a fantastic event and one not to miss.  Cruise up in your Alfa and enjoy the day, no entry fee so the price is right.  If you could drive up in an Alfetta GTV, GTV6 or 105, that will be great, for obvious reasons which I will not elaborate as it will scare you off.

The event on Sunday starts 10am and ends 6 hr after that.  Come and see what Alfa's do best.  Don't just sit at home and polish and look at your Alfa, go drive it.

With the prelude event over with a thrilling finish, it is on with the real 6 hr.

Weather is looking pretty good, bring out the sunscreen.

Something to highlight from Neil's little essay - there are NO ENTRY FEES FOR SPECTATORS so no excuses not to come for a drive up on either Saturday or Sunday and watch some fine cars on the track (and mine too!).  Practice and qualifying on Saturday is 9.30am-4.45pm, and the main event Sunday kicks off at 10am with the chequered flag dropped at 4pm.  If you're new to the club come and say hello to some of the competitors and see how the game works.  The Alfa teams are all in the garages closest to the control tower starting at garage #1.

For those wanting the full club level motorsport experience.


The camping ground at Winton Raceway, near long track extension, will be open, $20 per person per night, see Winton at the office if interested.

For those looking for an excuse for a drive on the weekend - remember it's a lovely drive up to Winton Raceway the back way.  Get your Alfa out and go up via Whittlesea, Kinglake West, Yea, Bonnie Doon, and Swanpool.

I'm sure Neil will be along soon with official results, but the top team was the BMW E30 team.  Very well deserved.  2nd place to the MX5 Flyin' Miatas team.  Top Alfa team was team Forza 105, taking home the coveted Tony Hawker trophy.
