FIAT Freakout 40

White Mountains, NH
June 7-11, 2023

This was a very well organized event with many activities and attended by a good number of AROC members. The NYAROC members included Rob and Joyce Rizzo, Dan and Annette Goldman, Vinny Lambroia, Luca and Anna Spensieri, Nick Cervera and Vic and Gail Cerami.

Dan Goldman won best in class for his beautiful Lancia and Rob Rizzo took some nice laps at the new and beautiful Club Motorsports raceway. We all had a great time. 

Mucho thanks to FIAT Club America Pres. Doug Von Koenig, along with Tim Beeble, John Montgomery and all that put on a great convention.

Greenwich Concours D'Elegance 2023

The Greenwich Concours D'Elegance 2023 is now a three day event. Friday included the following: meet and greet, grand touring event, charity fundraising and dinner parties. The Sports Car event was held on Saturday and the special Concours D'Elegance on Sunday. 

This event was started by Bruce Wennerstrom, past President of the Madison Avenue Sports Car Driving Club (the oldest Auto club in the USA). The Wennerstroms ran it for many years and several years ago Hagerty Ins. purchased the rights and took control. From all indications Hagerty has continued this great event.

The shows were overall very well attended and we had a fairly good Alfa club presence in spite of the late notice that Alfa would be a featured Marque. 

Several NYAROC members had Alfas displayed on both days. Lawrence Auriana's '37 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B was awarded "BEST OF SHOW", Gary Pezzella's beautiful 1956 1900 took Best in Class (he also presented his fabulous '93 RZ Zagato), Phil Jacobs displayed his '79 Niki Lauda Spider and David Garfinkel his cool '71 Montreal.
