Sunday in the Park -Lime Rock Park, Lakeville, CT

,

Most of the marque clubs made an appearance as the weather was perfect. This annual event is part of the 4 day Labor Day Auto and racing Festival held on Sunday when the vintage racing events are prohibited.  Several Alfa Club chapters attend yearly along with the FIAT Club under Tim Beeble holding an infield show position for FIATs and Alfas.

Our beloved Alfas were present in good numbers. Several 4Cs, Zagato 1600, Guilietta Spider, GTVs and Spiders, etc. Notable, special Alfas included: Joe Nastasi's Tipo 33, Peter Greenfield’s 158 Alfetta, and Lawrence Auriana's TZ1.

Also of particular interest to many was the 1974 GTV creation of Alfonso which sported an Alfa 3.0 liter V-6 with a Supercharger and some trick engineering. He reported that he did most of the work himself and that it took mucho time getting it all dialed in but now it is a blast to drive!

AROC CT members attending: Frank & Mary LaSalla and Joe & Jessey Palumbo. NYAROC members attending: Griff deNoyelles (Lime Rock race steward), Fred & Bev Frey, Joe Colasacco, GT Linton, cousin Aldo, Dan DeGiovine, Ken Morakabi, Nat Lerardi and Vic & Gail Cerami.

The judges and master of ceremonies were Donald Osbourne and Wayne Carini who proclaimed NYAROC as the best car club. 

We all had a great time. 
Till next year,

A wide range of Alfa Romeo cars represented the New York Alfa Romeo owners club at the Italian Festival in Smithtown, on June 29th.  Hosted by The Culture and Heritage Italian Fair 2019,  the Alfisti provided a  taste of the Italian “Biscione”  from the classic Spider Graduate up to the modern and most recent offerings, the Giulia and Stelvio. Other classic Alfas included the GTV coupe and the unforgettable Alfa 164 S. As a mascot, there was also a Fiat X1 Bertone.

   “We really thank the NYS Order of Sons and Daughters of Italy for having us today” said the members of the local Alfa Romeo Club at the Frank Brush Barn. “We really enjoyed answering  the visitors questions and introducing our Alfa Romeos to the audience”.
