Rainfest in Des Moines Italian Concours d’Elegance

In This Issue:

For many years, the Italian Concours d‟Elegance has been held on the middle day of the same 3 day weekend as

Bumbershoot. Usually, the day is dry and fails to live up to the rainy day that requires an umbrella

(bumbershoot). This year, it made up for all the dry times… it rained like crazy. Perhaps crazy is also what the

people were who showed up in this weather. The turnout, though impressive in that rain, was still well down

from what we‟ve seen before. If the number of cars on display was lower, ticket sales were even worse. The

event promoters made a very generous change allowing any spectators in for free… braving the weather was a

high enough price. The vendors had an

equally tough day battling weather and with

limited customers.

The featured vehicles this year were Italian

Racing Cars. This prime spot was occupied

by a Lamborghini Diablo GT-R owned by Roy

Katz, ‟57 Ferrari 250 Testarossa Prototipo of

Jon Shirley, and also a ‟45 Ferrari 166 MM

Italian Concours cont’d...

(chassis #004C) belonging to Jim Clark from Vancouver

WA.. Alfa Romeo was well represented in the featured area

by Dave Kingstone and his bi-color GTV as well as Peter

Hagemann with his silver Giulietta SZ Coda Trunca.

Dave‟s Alfa is well known to most of us. He has built up a

great track car, modeling the red / green paint scheme af-

ter one of the famous Horst Kweck race cars from the Trans

Am race series. Peter‟s car is a fantastic, recent addition to

his collection.

When the judging was done, the wet judges first place tally

for the Alfa Romeo Contemporary class was the beautiful

dark red 8cCompetizione belonging to Mike Leonetti.

Mike‟s the guy Mirko Freguia tracked down in Redmond,

many months back, when Mike was heading to a movie in

his new Alfa 8C. Classic Alfa Romeo had first, second third

place cars. First place was won by Jim Simpson‟s bright red 1966 2600 Sprint

Zagato. Jim Elms took second place with his red 1965 Giulia SS, with the

white 1962 Giulietta 1600 Spider owned by Ken Loganbill taking third place.

We had plenty

of great Alfa‟s

there, with 3

nice spiders,

Kay and

Theresa Jones‟

Giulietta Sprint,

Shannon Lowe‟s

Milano, as well

as two Duettos,

the new Alfa Spider (Microsoft car), and Ron Calkin‟s 164 Super. Through the

rain, I saw a number of nice GTV6s, a couple 164s, and a couple other Alfas in the

parking lot.

Best of Show went to Jon Shirley‟s outstanding Ferrari Testarossa. This car was

the prototype design by

Scaglietti with pontoon fend-

ers and a 3 Ltr v12. After

proving itself Ferrari used it

to mold all the future Testa-

rossa‟s on. The People‟s

Choice vote went to a 1972

DeTomaso Pantera that had

some modern touches added

to its unique orange exte-

rior. The car had been the personal car of Tom Tjaarda, the Pantera

designer. The upgrades were done by Tom while modernizing its look.

Some of the other great cars in the rain that day were a number of Fer-

raris, Maseratis, a few Lancia‟s, and Fiats. The Fiat group had a great

Multipla which sure looks like it was ahead of its time when compared to

things like today‟s Toyota Prius, or Honda Fit. Another cool car was a

BMW M1, the mid engine super car. This one-of-a kind version was

built by BMW for the Prime Minister of Qatar. It is the only M1 built to

full race spec, but for the street. Those who braved the foul weather

were able to enjoy all of these great cars and vendors. Let‟s look for-

ward to a dry show next year! Fred R

President’s Column By Harry Reed

Do The Mountains!

I decided the best way to start September, was by driving our great Mountains. Aldo and I headed up SR410 South over Mt Rainer, top down of

course. Then took SR123 South to US12 to Randle. In Randle I picked up SR31 which ran into NF25 South and then East on NF99 which goes up

the East side of MT. ST Helens. There were a few light rain showers left over from the night before, which also left a few good size rocks on the

road. The rocks got more interesting as I climbed higher and the fog became denser. Every mile or so as I rounded another curve there would be a

break in the fog and the devastation from the eruption was still quite evident. I managed to dodge all the rocks and reach the top, or at least as far

as the road went. The visibility was just about ZERO, so I spent little time viewing the fog and headed back down NF99. The fog started lifting as I

descended, there were great views around most curves. The park department had a truck with a front loader coming up the mountain scooping up

rocks. That was a good thing.

About 2/3 the way down the mountain I noted a paved road heading north. The road was unmarked and there was no signage on the road. I chased

the road north for about ½ hour and then stopped to have lunch. At my lunch stop I saw the remains of an old stone foundation which had been the

foundation of a National Park sign. It is my understanding that this North/South road was the original road to Mt St Helens prior the eruption. The

sun was out in full force and the views were great. This road is not maintained and became quite narrow with brush trying to take over, it was time

to turn around and look for more adventure and curves. When I got back to NF99, I had not seen another car for an hour and fifteen minutes.

Makes one glad to be in an Alfa.

I retraced my route back to SR410 and then went west to Sunrise. It was a great drive and at 6100 feet the view from Sunrise was spectacular. I

took a little side trip to Crystal Mountain and headed for Clearwater wilderness on the east side of SR410. I missed the road (I do that ever so of-

ten) and ended up back in Enumclaw and in rush hour traffic, oh well.

I was grounded for the past three weeks with a medical problem, so I did not enjoy any more good drives until the Half Fast Lap of Washington. I

will take this opportunity of down time to make out my punch list of Maintenance Items to accomplish on Aldo this winter. A little work in the winter

makes for good spring and summer driving.

We will open nominations for club officers during our October meeting; nominations will remain open until the election occurs during our November

meeting. Please give some thought as to who you would like our club officers to be next year. If you are interested in being a club officer, have one

of our members nominate you at the October or November meeting. I have been a Committee Director or an officer for the past six years; it is both

interesting and rewarding,

I can tell it has been a good driving summer, as I had to change the oil and filter on Aldo prior to the Half Fast Lap.

Hope to see you on a back road. Ciao, Harry

The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club News For Alfisti… Elections, 8C Spiders, and Good Genes

Club Elections are coming! Two of the key needs of this

club, and most clubs for that matter; leaders and members.

NWARCs success is that we‟ve always enjoyed both. The way

to keep this success going is the upcoming elections. Read

more on page 6 of this issue and plan to attend the November

10th club meeting to volunteer, nominate, or cast your vote!

Hoping to buy one of the new Alfa Romeo 8cCompetizione Spiders?

You may have a challenge or two. Of the 500 being made, the rumor is

that all 500 are presold, and only 24 will

come to the USA. One question that

comes to mind is… how many will we see

in our area. The chances are good, since

a total of 8 of the 8c Coupes reside in the

Northwest.

The production 8c Spider has the same

4.7 Liter engine, as well as suspension

setup as the coupe. The brakes are using new Carbon-Ceramic disks that

tests say work great at both slow or aggressive driving. The stiffening of

the body, needed without the roof, makes the car about 90 pounds heav-

ier.

Though some may prefer the lines of the body with a roof, others will pre-

fer the open top just as much. The one real difference will be that without

the top on the car, you will be able to better hear the fantastic sound of the

exhaust note… oh, and the wind in your hair if you still have any.

MiTo skinny leg jeans are now available. Produced by Louise Roe, a

fashion expert in both the US and Europe, and designed by Bjork and McEl-

ligott, includes attractive styling touches

like embroidered rear pockets - one fea-

turing the serpent from Alfa Romeo's

iconic badge. Profits from the sales will go

to the Jeans for Genes charity and are be-

ing sold at two boutique retail outlets in

London through the charity's patron,

Donna Ida. Priced at £75 a pair! Good

item for the Holiday Party.

October NWARC Club Meeting

Coming Soon

Parts Blow Out Sale at:

RALLI-ROUND

Elections are Coming!!! November 10th

It‟s people that make the NWARC such a great club. You are that important element. From reading the newsletter, to volunteering at events. Par-

ticipating in a wine tour, or enjoying a track day... to a role as a club officer. Each is the way we celebrate our friendships, and common passion for

Alfa Romeos.

No one task is overwhelming and each requires the talents we have, or we know of the person with the talents. A great example was last month‟s

Whidbey Tour, setup by a new member who did a great job after seeking advice from a couple of seasoned members. The same holds true for the

Competition Director Role. It has been held by a few people, and identified as being a bit demanding, so we are working to spread the effort out dif-

ferently to make it more manageable. Almost any member can perform the elected roles, if they seek advice and support from the other members

who have preceded them.

Our elections on November 11th will be for: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. All positions are part of the leadership Board

along with the Competition, Activities, Membership Directors, and Webmaster, and Newsletter Editor. The meeting will be your chance to finalize the

nominees and take the actual vote for the elected positions. If you think the club is running great… volunteer to be part of the Board and it‟s suc-

cess! If you think the club needs to do things a little differently, volunteer for a role and step in and help change it. As a member of the board,

you‟ll meet four times a year. These meetings may be face-to-face or via phone / e-mail.

Here are outlines of the elected roles so you‟ll know what you are volunteering for, or may be nominated for. It‟s actually fun and rewarding… it‟s

not at all like being an indentured servant.

President: The easiest job on the Board. Controls the activities of the overall Board and runs the Board meetings and presides over the club meet-

ings. Writes a monthly column for the newsletter. Helps to find and fill openings in club committee spots. Typically uses around 5 hours monthly…

plus attendance at the club meetings. Does not require Alfa ownership… only passion and some leaderships skills! 90% of our members can do this

role. Contact Harry Reed for specifics: [email protected]

Vice President: Fills in for the club President if the President cannot attend a meeting. Arranges locations and speakers (if any) for monthly club

meetings. Tracks attendance at monthly club meetings. Typically requires 2 or 3 hours effort per month making arrangements for speakers or

meeting locations. Also coordinates with activities director and newsletter editor for timing and announcement. Keeps records of contacts and hosts

of prior events for future reference. Does not require Alfa ownership… only organization and communication skills! 90% of our club members can

do this role. Contact Tom Mous for specifics: [email protected]

Secretary: Keeps notes during our club and board meetings. Forwards the meeting notes to other board and committee members. Typically re-

quires less than 1 hour effort monthly outside of the meetings themselves. Does not require Alfa ownership… only organization and communication

skills! 95% of our members can do this role! Contact George Gibbs for specifics: [email protected]

Treasurer: This role keeps our club finances in line. The key tasks are to track the money, pay the club bills, cover the track and driving events

with insurance certificates, reimburse club members for club expenses, and manage the Accounts Receivable side. This uses a bit more time than the

other roles… it varies monthly. 4—8 hours monthly is a good estimate. Requires good accounting accuracy. Once again, no Alfa ownership is re-

quired… but we changed the rules after Fred Wright so you don‟t get a free car with this role. This is the toughest elected role, but check with fast

livin‟ Ron Calkins for specifics: [email protected]

The non-elected positions you can volunteer for are Activities, Membership, and Competition Directors. Additionally, the Webmaster role, and


Elections are Coming!!! November 10th

Newsletter Editor tasks. It‟s not unheard of for people to sign up as a team with another member. (Wife & husband? Friend & friend? New member

and long standing member?)

Competition: Very important role in the club since it effects our finances, safety, and some deep speed passions. You will need to manage all the

track lapping events. What makes this role easy is the great existing program, tools, and volunteers… and past directors who will help. What is

tough is we have a lot of track events so we need to work with you to spread that responsibility out across others. Help us determine how we do this

and we‟ll ensure you don‟t get overloaded. Our track events cannot happen without this key role, and the role can‟t happen without our club mem-

bers support. Requires track experience, attention to safety, good organization and communication.

For specifics, contact Brian Williams: [email protected] or Dave Kingstone: [email protected]

Activities: The master of the calendar. This role keeps all the events on the calendar and helps work with those planning the events to best fit the

schedule, with minimal conflicts. They also work with the Treasurer to ensure events have insurance coverage when needed, and to help keep event

costs under control for the club and members. The role requires social skills and some organization talent as well as 1 or 2 hours per month. No

Alfa ownership needed. 95% of our members could do this role! Contact Merrill Gordon for specifics: [email protected]

Membership: You have what is usually a simple fun role. First you get to welcome any new members to the club with an e-mail or phone call, as

well as provide info about the club to prospective members who may have shown up at an event or meeting. Both gives you a chance to brag about

the cool things we do as part of NWARC. The other fun aspect is looking for ways to attract new members… we don‟t expect you to wear a sandwich

board and walk a college campus or some downtown streets. You may work with other club Membership Directors or tap the National Membership

chair… a local resource we call Joe. It takes no more than a couple hours per month and requires good social skills. No Alfa is required!

Contact Mirko Freguia for specifics: [email protected]

Webmaster: If you like to stay up late, put your feet up on the computer desk and have the patience to be a computer person… this role is for you.

You‟ll need to help keep information up to date on the website with the latest meeting info, and newsletter postings. If you can update other items,

all the better. You would need to invest about 1 or 2 hours a month unless you get hooked, then you can put in 20+ hours. You choose. You do

have to understand web applications and programming. (I know, I know… most kids can do this but only a few adults can.)

Contact Taru Ross for specifics: [email protected]

Newsletter Editor: A role with infinite rewards… if you talk too much. You need to gather stories and photos from people attending events, or

“report” the event yourself. Pull together info about news, upcoming events, meetings, or any dirt you can find to put into the newsletter. You do

this each month to your own entertainment, and hopefully to a few members as well. You can create your own design / layout that you feel is best

and ensure the newsletter is published / mailed. Forward a pretty color version to the Webmaster and via e-mail to the members. The requirements

are some mild computer skills, reasonable communication, and about 16 hours per month… plus attendance at events. Until we create a role of

“Director of Driving w/ Eric Hawley in his 8C” then this is the most fun role in NWARC.

Ask me (Fred Russell) for specifics at: [email protected]

You know the roles… now jump in, take your turn, and be a leader in the best Alfa Romeo club around. Thanks, and we‟ll see you Nov 11th! Fred R

Trivia Question for October!

Which Alfa Romeo was advertised with the following tag line? "For the

man who has everything, here is the car to keep him company.”


Born in 1890, Baronessa Maria Antonietta d‟Avanzo was a bit of a rarity.

She was the first woman to race an Alfa Romeo in a real competitive race. (As opposed to a publicity stunt.) She raced in the 1929 Mille Miglia driv-

ing either a 1500 or 1750cc Alfa Romeo. Unfortunately, she crashed just 5

miles into the race.

Maria‟s racing career started much earlier, in 1918, racing at Spa in the

Tour de Lazio. Then, in 1920 in the Targa Florio, she drove a Buick, but went out around mid-race. In 1921, as part of the Ansaldo Team, with Cor-rado Lotti as team leader and a young Tazio Nuvolari as the junior driver,

they drove Ansaldo‟s Maserati 4CS in the 1st Circuito del Garda race finish-ing seventh overall. However, since they were in the 2 Ltr class, they fin-

ished first in their class. Maria raced again with the Ansaldo team in the 2nd

Circuito di Mugello, but lost a wheel and didn‟t finish.

In September 1921, she got her hands on an Alfa Romeo 20-30 ES to take part in a race called 1st Gran Premio Gentlemen at Brescia, Italy. Maria ob-

tained the best result of her career, finishing third overall. Some may dis-pute whether this was a “real” race… but there is no dispute of her driving

the Alfa Romeo in the 1929 Mille Miglia.

Maria continued racing and in 1931, took another third place finish at the Coppa Pierazzi. At age 49, still racing, she finished in sixth position on the

1940 Tobruck-Tripoli race.

Some may know her for another obscure impact she had on performance cars from Italy. Ten years prior to her Mille Miglia race, Maria bought a V12 Packard from Antonio Ascari in 1919. It had been a USA speed record car

driven at Daytona earlier the same year. Enzo Ferrari had seen Maria and the Packard V12. Later in life when asked about his vision, he credited her

car as the inspiration for building his string of 12cyl. engines!

There were other women who drove well throughout racing history but it was rare that officials would let women in a race along side men. Over the years, many great women racer‟s names have been lost or forgotten, but in

our lives we‟ve seen the likes of Janet Guthrie, Michelle Mouton, Shirley Mul-downey, Sarah Fisher, or Danica Patrick race, and race extremely well.

Thanks Maria… for setting a good example against some tough odds. Fred R

Trivia Question from September!

Who was Baronessa Antonietta d’Avanzo and what is

her significance to Alfa Romeo history?


This show draws in some of the most beautiful cars you‟ll ever see. Then to make it even better,

add in a MicroCar display, and a Thunderboat area, and perfect weather and there was no other

place to be on September 13th.

The featured marque was Mercedes Benz and they did the marque proud. As you walked to-

wards the ticket area, Phil Smart had a display of all the new models available today, as well as a

perfect replica of the first gas powered car made in 1886. Then once inside there was around a

dozen 300 SLs plus a number of other great Mercedes.

There was a “Supercar” section, which had a Ferrari Enzo, GTO, F40, and 430 Scuderia, and

looking right at home in the mix was Dave Smith‟s Alfa Romeo 8cCompetizione. It was the only

Alfa within the show, but Eric Hawley‟s was also there parked as a centerpiece near where the

awards were presented.

The ears were as happy as the eyes when they fired up the Thun-

derboats for the crowd. Those boats with their Rolls Royce or Alli-

son airplane engines can really rattle anything that‟s loose. It is

hard to imagine what it would be like to drive one of these boats,

but I‟ll guess it would take a lot of muscle and even more nerve.

I‟m ready for next year! Fred R

FOR SALE: 1957 Giulietta 750 Sprint - column shift / small light model

Matching numbers: Chassis #1493 05372 Motor #1315 04810

Car needs a total restoration, but would make a fantastic basis for a con-

cours level rebuild. Very nice solid body similar to the '57 Sprint (floor

shift / large headlight) recently sold on Ebay for $15,000. This one is priced

at $20,000 which reflects the rarity and desirability of the early Series 1

column shift car. I don't think there are many others to be found in the US.

Car is located in Ventura, California. I can arrange to show it anytime.

Please contact me if you have serious interest.

Are you advertising in Iniezione? Why Not?

Many of us would prefer buying services from fellow Alfisti before looking

outside the “family”.

Advertisements in the newsletter are a win, win, win. 1. Ad

revenue goes to the club. 2. Members feel better about who they contact.

3. Your business gets added exposure during this very tight economy.

From contractors, attorney‟s, designers, printers, landscapers, etc… Spread
