A great day at the races for Alfisti and Italian car lovers everywhere! Skip
Barber, owner of Lime Rock Park, asked Steve Earle, founder of the Monterey
Historic Races to come in and run the show on the 20th anniversary of the
Vintage Festival. It's clear that some folks will show up for Earle's events
where they won't for other, more pedestrian events solely because of his
rather draconian policy regarding damage to your own car or anyone else's.
Normally, you would think that this would preclude good racing but nothing
could be further from the truth! It was GREAT racing with great cars this
past weekend. Peter Giddings 3-liter 8C-35 Grand Prix car, John Kendall's
8C-2300 Monza, Lawrence Auriana's 6C-3500 coupe and TZ-1, Bob Kullas' Alfa
Giulietta Spider and GTV, David Rivkin's GTA, Scott Terry, Andrew Perlman
and Santo Spadaro's Giulietta Spiders, Tom Lacosta's Giulietta Sprint
Veloce, Bo Russell's roundtail SZ and that's just the Alfas! Sam Mann's 6CM
Maserati voiturette, John Igleheart's O.S.C.A. S-187 750cc sports racer,
Lynne Alexander's Siata 300BC, Jim McNeil and Tony Wang's 250GTO's, Bob
Bodin and Lulu Wang's 250SWB's, John Giordano's 512S, John McCaw's 250LM,
Tony Wang's Maserati 300S, Walter Dethiers DeTomaso Pantera, Bruce Male's
Maserati A6G Zagato, Jim Duffield' and Mahlon Craft's 1000 Abarth's, Kurt
Bissell's ex-Trans Am Fiat 124 Coupe and my partner's Fiat 850 powered Beach
