Greetings Alfisti!
It’s hard to believe that 2024 is behind us. It was a whirlwind year for me completing the restoration of my 1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider just in time for Viva Alfa! I couldn’t have done it without the help of my dad and brother and I look forward driving it to events in the coming months once they get organized. And that leads me to some exciting news…
Miguel Rodriguez has agreed to serve as our new Vice President! Miguel lives in Satellite Beach and is already planning several exciting activities that will be announced soon so keep an eye on your inboxes. It is exciting when members step up and help out with the club, so be sure to thank Miguel next time you see him. If anyone else is interested in serving the club, let me know as we have positions available.
Thanks to everyone who helped out at Viva Alfa! this year. We had a great collection of cars on display and the weather held out just long enough. Armando Paredes has produced another great recap video which can be viewed on our website at www.alfafla.com Drop him an email at alfamando@gmail.com if you like it. I have no idea how to do this, but it looks like a lot of work. I’m already starting to plan Viva Alfa! 2025 so let me know if you have any suggestions.
As many of you who subscribe to the Alfa Owner already know, the KMW Motorsports with TMR Engineering Alfa Romeo Giulietta will not be competing in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Sport Challenge series in 2025. However, the cars will still be competing and will run under the banner of KMW Motorsports with TMR Engineering, but they will be competing in Historic Sportscar Racing with a new owner. This is more of a gentlemen series and is very fun to watch. Check them out on line! I will try to plan an activity around an HSR race soon.
That’s it for now. I wish everyone a Very Happy New Year, and Happy Motoring wherever your roads lead you!
Ciao!
Peter Gagne, President
