Concorso Italiano August 13 Monterey CA

In This Issue:

With so many great options of events to at-

tend this, the 100th Birthday year for our

favorite car marque, it was tough to chose

which to attend. I wandered down to

Concorso Italiano in Monterey California. The

location is the Laguna Seca Golf Ranch with

the cars parked on the beautiful grass. With

the famous race track right next door, I can

hear the sounds of vintage race cars running,

while wandering around the great variety of

Italian cars, all under a warm sun. It‟s a nice

way to spend a day.

Arriving early, gave me plenty of time to wan-

der, which I‟m used to doing on a golf course,

but usually looking for my lost ball. This time, the wandering rewarded me with finds of a different sort.

Numerous excellent examples of GTV6s and Alfetta GT cars, along with both Milanos and 164s. In amongst

these was an extremely rare (and extremely slow) was the Alfa 6 2.5 Ltr… 5 cylinder Turbo Diesel. The

only one known to be in the USA. One aspect of the powerplant is it was clearly a 4 cylinder with an addi-

tional 5th… seam and all, plus each cylinder has it‟s own head.

Concorso Italiano Cont’d...

The Berlinas were well represented with a couple

older Giuliettas, including the dark blue one be-

longing to Bill Gillham from AROO . Bill‟s car won

the prestigious Arnaldo Pomodoro award for overall

beauty. There were also a number of fantastic

Giulia Super and Ti cars and looking outstanding as

usual was Michael Kay‟s cars right in the midst of

this gathering. Michael and his friend, Peter, had

driven down and used a new paint on, temporary

clear coat that protects against rock chips. It

worked great and peeled off prior to the show leaving no traces, and of course the fantastic

looking cars.

There were spiders of all types and years from a number of outstanding Giuliettas to Giulia

GTC, to Duettos, 2000‟s and 2600‟s and 70‟s through 90‟s spiders. The Montreals and Junior

Zs each numbered 4, and all looked great. They perched the Sprint Speciale cars on a slight

mound which played well with the unique body lines as well.

Other great rare cars were a couple Alfa 8cCompetizione, Jon Shirley‟s 8c2900B, Greg

Whitten‟s BiPosto P3, a ‟61 SZ, a „64 TZ, and a Boano bodied Alfa 1900.

In addition, there was a replica 6c3000 that was

stunning… albeit a little nicer than what the

original probably looked like. There was also an

artist named Greg Hildebrant creating a painting

of a hot almost naked woman and an Alfa

8c2900 with the title Beauty and the Beast. As

Alfisti, which is really the Beauty? Don‟t get me

wrong, I liked them both but the Alfa is the

Beauty. The model maker, Marshall Buck, had a

display booth and a wooden body mold for an 8c2900 he will be making. It

was all very cool.

There was also plenty of lesser cars like Ferrari, Fiat, Iso, Maserati, Lancia,

and Lamborghini. The gathering of Ferrari F40s was impressive as well as

the one off Ferrari SP1 from the factory‟s Special Projects division. Few

things in this world are as stunning as the lines of a Lamborghini Miura and

there were 3 (Red, Orange, and Silver) to enjoy.

The stage area rolled a

number of cars through

that had won awards and

much of the event was

emceed by Keith Martin.

If I could find a complaint,

it would be two small

things… though very nice,

the outhouse units were

often placed so they were

the backdrop in car pic-

tures, and secondly, there

really needs to be more

pre-WWII cars. With that

said, the weather was

outstanding, the location

great, and the cars were

fantastic. It was great to

go, and even better to

find some of our locals

like Eric Hawley, Jim

Simpson, Michael Kay,

Greg Whitten, and Rod

McNae wandering the

show as well.

President’s Column By Harry Reed

Silver Bullets

I hope everybody enjoyed our daylong celebration of Alfa Romeo‟s 100th birthday, I know I had a good time and talked to a few people I had not

seen for awhile. I was surprised to see so many people at our 8am breakfast. The car show was good and I hear the drive to the Picnic area was

fun. I was in charge of getting the ice [a very large responsibility] so I missed the drive. The BBQ was great, we even had a chef flown in from

Kansas to work the grill, that would be Gordy Hyde‟s brother, and he did a great job. Fred Russell and his two daughters, Taylor and Madison

brought a super cake with an Alfa Logo, real cool stuff. The success of this event was made possible due to the good planning and execution of the

plan by Fred and his two daughters, thanks again to the Russell family. Another hi-light of the day were the three Silver Bullets, they would be

1987 spider Quadrifoglio‟s, silver of course. I suppose I‟m a little partial to that year and model. I would say they were identical but the Italians in

the factory never seen to put the radio antenna in the same place on any two cars. There were a lot of great Alfa at the party. Our club has its

share of really nice Alfa‟s, if it is possible to ever have your share!

I managed to get in my annual camping trip on the Olympic Peninsula. I stayed at Mora Campground and spent a few hours at Rialto Beach. With

some forethought, you can put a lot of stuff in a spider! The TWILIGHTERS are still overrunning Forks, which is very good for the Forks economy.

There are some great Alfa roads on the Peninsula, some are dead end roads and are great driving in both directions such as, Sol Duc Hot Springs

Road, Elwha Dam Road, The Hurricane Ridge Road, SR 112 and 113 and I must mention the East Beach Road that runs south out of the town of

Joyce, along the east end of Lake Crescent. This road has to be one of the great drives in the state. If you go just beyond Sekiu on SR112 and

take the Hoko-Ozette road you will have a great round trip to Lake Ozette. There is a nice lunch stop at the lake. It‟s nice to have two full days to

do these drives. With good planning you could have a nice lunch at the Lake Crescent lodge. I believe the Half Fast Lap of Washington will touch

on some of these good roads this fall.

I‟m only going to do one night of the Half Fast Lap this year as Elsie and I have vacation plans in the Southwest part of the country. I hope to see

some of you on September 18 at the start of this event, remember you can do one ,two or three days.

September 1 is our last Lapping day this year at PR, let‟s go out and support the Corsa Committee.

There is still enough summer left to meet on some BACKROADS... hope to see you there.

Ciao, Harry

Kirkland Concours d’Elegance Sept 12th

Date: Sunday - September 12, 2010

Time: 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Location: Carillon Point in Kirkland, WA

The setting is

stunning as usual,

along Lake Wash-

ington. This year

is especially fun

for us Alfisti with

Alfa Romeo being

one of the fea-

tured marques.

They should have

a few very nice

Alfas on display

for us including

the 8c2300 known as The Rimoldi. It was a car owned and enjoyed by

a true Alfista for 51 years who raised a family and went on vacations

with this car. Wouldn‟t that have been a good upbringing!

Saturday Secret: There is a new pre event known as the Vin d'Ele-

gance, being held Saturday, Sept.11 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at several

Woodinville wineries open for wine tastings. Each "taster" will receive

one coupon good towards $5 off an adult general admission ticket to

the Concours the next day. There should be approximately 20 collec-

tor cars coming off their Tour d'Elegance, a three-day road trip

through the North Cascades, arriving in Woodinville around noon on

Saturday. Just a little something extra to enjoy!

Have you seen the new Lotus Evora yet?

Examined the engine bay of a Lamborghini Gallardo?

Analyzed an Aston Martin up close?

Had a good look at a Spyker?

Checked out the Pininfarina 2uettottanta Alfa Spider?

Ok, scratch the last one, but everything else can be viewed and inves-

tigated during the next NWARC club meeting at Park Place Ltd.

September 14th 6:30—9:00 PM

Shannon Low, one of those exceptional Milano Verde drivers, will be

our host for the evening to point out the finer aspects of these excep-

tional cars. Park Place will be ready for us at 6:30 PM with pizza,

wine, & pop to keep the hunger pangs away.

We‟ll see you there for more Alfa Romeo discussions (I need to dis-

cuss A/C) and enjoy the evening with some fantastic sports cars in a

most appropriate venue.

September Club Meeting

Out for a Winter’s Drive...

Half Fast Lap of Washington Sept 18-20

Plan to meet us Saturday at the NW corner of Southcenter Mall just below the tall Westfield sign. We‟ll aim

for 8:15 AM with departure time at 8:30 AM. South end folks can meet us at Griot‟s new garage at 9

AM. (3333 So 38th Tacoma) At 11 AM, we‟re off to Morton for lunch, and Windy Ridge viewpoint at Mt.

St. Helens. We continue south to the Ape Caves area, (BRING A FLASHLIGHT) before landing for the

night at Lone Fir Resort.

Sunday will take us westbound to an old Grist Mill built in 1876, and then along the southern shore of the

Columbia River on Oregon Hwy 30. We cross back to Washington on a tiny car ferry. We‟ll drive through a

covered bridge, a wildlife preserve, a couple small towns and end the day at historic, and haunted Lake

Quinault Lodge.

Monday, we enjoy low tide at Ruby Beach, then a short walk in the Hoh Rain Forest. The herd of Roosevelt

Elk may be looking out for us… We‟ll have an Italian lunch in Port Angeles before stopping by a private car

collection in Sequim, then head for the Kingston Ferry for our return to the area.

The roads and scenery should be almost as good as the company we keep!

News For Alfisti…

Volkswagen buys ITALDESIGN-Giugiaro… The design studio is

now part of the ever-expanding auto conglomerate. It will be run as

part of the Lamborghini division. The top management of the com-

pany, including founder/chairman Giorgetto Giugiaro and his son and

vice-president Fabrizio, remain in place. VW‟s relationship with IDG

dates back decades, when the elder Giugiaro penned the 1970 Volks-

wagen first generation Golf (Rabbit) and Scirocco. No word on if IDG

will continue working with outside clients or will now dedicate itself to

VW Group projects. There have been some great looking Alfas com-

ing from IDG over the years!

Pacific Raceways Lapping Day Sept 1st

We‟ve had a great season of track events, and still have a few dates

to go… but the last Pacific Raceway event this year will be Septem-

ber 1st. I hope you‟re signed up to run… or at least coming out to

join us. With good numbers of Alfa Romeos it is fun to watch from

both the driver‟s seat or the sidelines.

One of the best vantage points is from the turn stations. This is a

win, win, win since it allows you the chance to enjoy the event up

close, learn the lines the different drivers use, and helps provide a

safe event for the club. (Plus you get a Hoodie and lunch!)

To run your car at Pacific Raceways events, you‟ll need to have run

one of our Bremerton Schools or Lapping Days to give our Corsa

team a chance to understand your experience level. This allows

them to place you in the best run group. You will also need to en-

sure that car and driver are prepared… see last months newsletter

for some tips on preparation.

If you haven‟t signed up: www.NWARC.Motorsportsreg.com .

It‟s September already which means December is only three short months away. The annual Holiday Gala is scheduled as usual for the first Saturday (December 4) and will include some traditions as well as some new twists.

One tradition, the silent auction will be held as usual – but the new twist? Proceeds will be donated to charity instead of helping to subsidize the costs of the Gala. As usual, we are looking for donations for the silent auction and already have had a couple of folks step up. Terry Larson and Joan Lawson

donated two Alfa books they purchased at Vintage Motorbooks in Portland, Oregon. Logan Gray, proprietor of Vintage Motorbooks, in turn donated a very cool leather cap with Alfa Romeo logo. Tradition dictates that Gordy and Jessica will be donating jam and home-made baked goods, but this year Gordy is also giving a VERY special limited edition (one of 250) print of a

cutaway drawing of a Duetto signed by artist Shin Yoshikawa. Hopefully you will put on your thinking caps and come up with items that you have col-lected, made or perhaps some Alfa parts you found unused in your garage. Let‟s help a worthy cause and make this the most “profitable” silent auction

yet!!

This year we will again be registering via MotorSportsReg.com to make it easy to register, select your entrée, and pay for the evening. You should also be looking for an e-mail announcement via E-vite, similar to last year,

so you will be reminded via e-mail as we approach the date and cut-off for registration.

Let‟s gear up and get ready for another fun evening with lots of pictures and tales of the numerous 100-year parties that took place around the country this year!!!

Miniature Cars: The New TZ3

It is amazing how quickly some of

these manufacturers get their new

miniatures made. The modeler

named YOW produces a number of

unique Alfa Romeo model kits in

1:43 scale. Their latest is the new

TZ3, one off car shown at this years

Geneva Auto Show.

This adds to YOW‟s already fun lineup of Alfa Romeo kits like the

ITALDESIGN Taxi, Montreal Prototipo, and Scighera GT. All are available

from ABC Brianza at [email protected].

On behalf of the entire NWARC, a warm and enthusiastic WELCOME to our 2 new members. Thanks for being part of NWARC!

Bonneville Speed Week and Bonnie! By Jim Steck

The annual Bonneville trek has begun.

Changes this year include aerodynamic improvements... a

headrest fairing and wrap-around windscreen. The drag

coefficient of a roll cage is ~.60, same as a para-

chute. Our cage presents a small frontal area, but at 230

mph could reduce drag by as much as 75 hp. allowing an

increase in speed of 10 mph. Safety rules also required

gussets be added to the roll cage.

Except for a larger compressor wheel on the turbo, engine

changes are aimed at reliability and reducing head gasket

leakage. Stainless steel sleeves have been installed in the

exhaust ports extending into the head to the valve seats. The stainless is stiffer than alu-

minum and will help support the gasket surface. To make the most of the design the

sleeves were offset so no material was removed from the bottom of the port. The sleeve

will also work as an insulator, reducing the temperature of the aluminum, increasing its

working strength.

Last year's experience with rapid chain wear prompted several changes to reduce the

maximum chain loads. Guides have been made for the long unsupported run from the ex-

haust cam to the intermediate sprocket, across the top from cam to cam, and for the lower

chain. I couldn't find a good way to mount a guide on the slack side leading to the ad-

juster, so the roller has been retained, but the adjustment is now made with a screw.

Since the aluminum block and head expand more than the chain, the chain should have

some slack when assembled on the stand, determining the correct amount is the trick. I

will be able to set it while the engine is hot, then check the amount of slack when it cools.

There is also pressure lubrication for the upper and lower chains.

Aug 16: Qualified at a speed of 231.031 with 25 pounds boost.

Aug 17: Just after the first mile, one of the two ignition boxes quit working. An AEM en-

gineer happened to have the needed module. 1st timed mile 221.664, 2nd 231.454, 3rd

233.841. That‟s more like it!

Aug 18: Mile 1 221.639, Mile 2 229.439, Mile 3 230.590 for a new record of 232.215 MPH

which bests the existng time.

Aug 19: Mile 1 217.446, Mile 2 230.559, Mile 3 234.056 Crosswinds stayed about 10MPH

but the car drove straight except for a small wiggle which could have been a gust or soft

salt; I could almost take my hands off the wheel! The new wind screen and fairing have

gotten rid of all the buffeting which is nice.

Aug 20: Was not making any boost and could not get past 6500 rpm so I aborted the

run. Discovered the wastegate flange broke at the header. A team from The Ohio State

University let me use their heliarc welder. Felt low on power and then smoke from under

the hood at 228 mph. Not sure if it is the added boost this year, 28psi or something

other. Won't know for sure until I get it home and take it apart. Packed up, off the salt,

and headed east but thinking about the return trip.


Picnic and Birthday Bash Wrapup

The turnout was good for the Show, Drive, Picnic event on August 14th.

Many of us gathered for a very good breakfast at Ruby‟s Diner in Redmond

where we took over three booths in the back corner. Though the European

Exotics show at RTC was rather disappointing with only a handful of cars,

the Alfas were numerous.

Next, our drive wandered around 37 total miles of nice back roads over

Sammamish Ridge and down near Fall City. Then, we headed north follow-

ing farming access roads before passing through Carnation and Stillwater.

We then followed more twisty roads near Lake Joy, and bringing us down

the Cherry Valley Road into Duvall and the picnic spot.

Our picnic was at Taylor Park in Duvall. The place worked well since we had just enjoyed the hot weather drive

and now the tall trees provided shade and cool place to sit, talk, and eat BBQ. The club provided all the fixings

for the lunch including Hamburgers, potato salad, snacks, drinks, and even cake. The 100th birthday cake was

easily recognizable with the Alfa Romeo logo. The birthday present to the members was also that we each re-

ceived cool green polo shirts with the logo embroidered on them.

Thanks to all people who joined us for any / all parts of this great event. Also a special thanks to the Emersons

who brought a salad as well, to Weldon Hyde (Gordy‟s brother) for grilling, and Taylor and Madison Russell for

doing a great job of setting up and helping… without everyone‟s help, we would have been eating chips and dip.

New Book Review By Fred Russell

If you have picked up one of the new books celebrating Alfa Romeo‟s 100

years… send me the title, author, and what you thought of the book!

Book One: Alfa Romeo from 1910 to 2010, by Maurizio Tabucchi. (ISBN

978-88-7911-503-2) This hardbound, 319 page book is filled with great im-

ages and stories detailing the history and path that Alfa Romeo followed. It

provides minimal technical detailing but is heavy with insight about what so-

cial and economic issues guided decisions as the company went along. The

translation to English is a little choppy, but that helps to give the book a bit

of an authentic Italian flair. I highly recommend the book to hard core and

casual Alfisti alike.

Book Two: Alfa Romeo & Mille Miglia, by Andrea Curami (ISBN 978-88-

7911-504-9) With a number of Mille Miglia books on my shelf, I thought this

might have the same info, but what a pleasant surprise. This book has plenty

of photos and stories I have never seen before. It is 100% focused on the

Alfa Romeos, both factory and privateer that ran in the Mille Miglia races from

1927 through 1957. The 160 page hardbound book has both English and

Italian text inside. I enjoyed reading (as much as I‟ve made it so far) the

stories about the testing and the actual races. There is more details about

Pintacuda driving the BiPosto P3 that belongs to Greg Whitten. There are fun

details of teams testing aerodynamics of cars with yarn taped in a number of

places on the body. Fun and very readable.

Complete mechanical restoration includ-

ing all suspension - with poly bushings,

Rugh sport springs, Bilstein shocks, ad-

justable upper front arm.

Complete engine rebuild with Hannifer

Stage 1 head work with new race

springs and 11mm cams, 10:1 pistons,

Ingram HP Spica pump to match, Crane

Cam ignition, High voltage coil. Trans-

mission rebuilt by Ingram, Diff up-

graded to 4.10 for nice cruising. Interior

in decent shape with recent seat covers.

New top. Gas tank cleaned and sealed by Seattle radiator. Radio upgraded to

Alpine 4 x 65 W with 4 coax speakers discreetly mounted. This runs and

drives better than new and is ready for a late summer cruise as it sits. Even-

tually the new owner may want to address the body and paint as it is patina

rich but still looks good from 20 feet.
