This weekend is shaping up to be a fabulous weekend for Alfa's on the track.

A full field of Race Craft and Driver Safety entrants on Saturday, youngest entrants being 16 and 12, but let's not mention the oldest!!!  But fantastic to see those who want to gain more in this exciting event of ours.  The number of enthusiastic club instructors and officials almost or just outnumbered the number of entrants, goes to show the support the club has.

A full field for Sprints on Sunday, majority being Alfa's of course and well supported by the salon of MX5's, thanks MX5 members.

Wonderful news, Trevor Montgomery in his Alfa 6c/1500 "Little Alfa" will be attending to give his beauty a run so to run in his new motor for PI Historics coming up.  It is fantastic to see Pre-war Alfa's out.  Planning on having more of them, but Trevor is the first to lead the charge.  Welcome Trevor. 

If you don't have anything special on (unlike me, it's my wife's birthday on Sunday, so I think I am in trouble), come up to Winton to see what Alfa's do best.

Great sprint day today at Winton.  A little warm and a lot of folk departed pretty early, so plenty of track time for those who wanted it!

Thanks very much to the organisers and volunteer officials again.

Saturday, was just as good too Evan  ;D 
Sensational weather, and I think the two guys I was instructing got something from the day.  From where I was sitting they both visually improved by the end of the day.

Shame I couldnt hang around for Sunday though.

In my defence, I only went out in one session and didn't get my chance to defend the honour.

Went out with fuel problem and last time was as chase car for the footage of Nick.

So there.

But the little bugger is going get less time now.

Wait up, the dorians were swapped around, now I recall, Damon got it mixed up.

Oh, also I told Damon to go into a faster group and follow John Floyd around and ended up with a faster time.

Things a father would do for their kids.

Then during his fast session, he hits something and comes back in.  So no chance for me to go out and challenge.

So we packed up.
