AROC-USA National Convention: 2023

In 2023, the Alfa Romeo Owners Club National Convention moves to the East Coast to the beautiful Piedmont area of North Carolina. The Piedmont area is a plateau of gentle hills between the coastal plains and the majestic Blue Ridge mountains. Winding roads in the mountains lead down to the gentle hills of Concord where the host hotel is located. Rolling farmland and old-fashioned Southern hospitality that harkens the vero spirito of the "Piemonte" region of Italy.

The Embassy Suites in Concord, NC is an ideal host hotel for the Convention.

Its multi-story atrium ascends around the main activity space and there is private parking for the convention. It is just two miles from the Charlotte Motor Speedway, an internationally known venue

for racing, where the time trials will be held. We will be visiting one of the largest bourbon distilleries in the Southeast as well as the Piccione Vineyards, which features award winning Italian style wines.

The Concorso will be held on the gently sloping lawn at Harrisburg Park, just 10 minutes from the hotel, with all the amenities necessary to host a magnificent Concorso d’Eleganza.

Trans Am Memorial Classic Races 2021

Trans Am Memorial Classic Races 2021

lime-rock.jpg

The Trans Am Series by Pirelli along with the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) and International GT are a riviting mix of modern and vintage race cars on the same weekend!  Trans Am features large car grids populated by Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers and Corvettes — a massive dose of pure Americana with a touch of nostalgia. The Trans Am Series began igniting the passion of motorsports fans in 1966 and has been home to some of the greatest names in road racing. Today, Trans Am continues to honor its legacy, while challenging the status quo in racing through a driver-oriented focus and fan-focused events. Visit http://gotransam.com for more.

From 200 mph Indy and Formula 1 cars to classic Jaguars and Porsches, SVRA events provide a “rolling history” of motorsport. SVRA is one of the oldest organizations in vintage racing, and the only one with a national presence, offering endurance racing events across the country. Visit https://svra.com for more.

The excitement continues with International GT, a North American racing series that includes The Stuttgart Cup, Mission Foods GT3 Cup Trophy and The Maranello Cup championships for late model Porsche and Ferrari competitors.

The 2021 Trans Am Memorial Classic Races will be held at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, CT on Saturday May 29th. This year the racing includes modern and vintage race cars from the Trans Am series, Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) and International GT. Although this is not a NYAROC-sponsored event, our members have attended in the past and have enjoyed the racing.

Members Dan DeGiovine and George Linton are organizing a full-day road trip which will include the following:

  • Breakfast at the Bayside Diner - 8:00am sharp (off Clearview Expressway & Northern Boulevard). Meet at the outdoor dining area.

  • Departure at 9:00am sharp from the diner driving in a caravan for 2 hours to Lime Rock Park via the scenic Taconic Parkway (have full tank of gas and EZ pass ready to go)

  • Enjoying the races, cars and all that Lime Rock Park has to offer

  • Dinner after the races at Hoodoo Browns BBQ restaurant in Ridgefield, CT

To purchase tickets for the racing event, please see the following link: https://tickets.limerock.com/ordertickets.asp?p=1924
The Lime Rock Park website is a bit confusing with all the tickets and events they offer. The tickets should be the ones that say RACE DAY FLEX, General Admission, 5/29-5/31. The cost is $45.00 per ticket.

Please check the Lime Rock Park website or call them directly for their cancellation policy in case of inclement weather, and for their COVID-19 updates and protocols in CT. Those interested in going to dinner should let Dan know so they can make the appropriate reservations at the restaurant.

Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, NYAROC members who attend will do so at their own risk.
If anyone is interested in attending the Trans Am Races, or has questions about the event, the road trip, the tickets, or dinner plans afterwards, please contact Dan DeGiovine directly to get more information and details.

Spettacolo Sportivo Alfa Romeo - Netherlands

Spettacolo Sportivo Alfa Romeo - Netherlands

SSAR2019_A5.jpg

August 24th and 25th of this year the Dutch Alfa Romeo Owners Club SCARB organizes its club weekend at the racetrack of Zandvoort. The Spettacolo Sportivo Alfa Romeo is the largest annual Alfa Romeo event in Europe and sees visitors from all over the continent and even further away. The program for the weekend includes races, parades, track training sessions and much more.

100 years of Zagato

The main theme is the design and couch building company Zagato celebrating its 100th anniversary. In 1921 the first Zagato body on an Alfa Romeo chassis appeared: the G1 Lusso. Many other Zagato bodied Alfas followed, like for example the 6C 1750 from 1929, famous for its victories in many races as well as its sleek and elegant design. Spettacolo visitors will see a variety of Zagato creations; Alfa Romeos and other makes. Many of those cars are very rare or unique.

Record attempt

A 'Zagato' that can be spotted on the road a little more often is the Junior Z from 1969 and its sister model GT 1600 Z from 1972. These models are put into the limelight to celebrate their 50th anniversary. With the support of the SCARB's Junior Zagato Register and the Dutch Junior Zagato Archives, we aim to gather together as many cars as possible, during the Spettacolo.

Alfa Romeo launched the 145, successor of the 33, at the 1994 Turin Auto Show.
Its sister 146 appeared December of the same year and went into production in 1995. At the Spettacolo we celebrate their 25th anniversary.

More information

July 1st, 2019 we launch the updated website www.spettacolosportivo.eu. Ticket sales for the track sessions start the same day. For an impression of the 2018 Spettacolo see: www.alfaclub.nl/spettacolo-sportivo.
