Really looking forward to another great weekend, and to working as part of a great team of people who make this happen.

The long and very hard road to the Alfa 6 hr. Déjà vu to 2012 Sandown Historic.
3 weeks pre-op, 3 weeks in surgery. 1 week recovery. 1 week physiotherapy. More to come.

That's a good looking car Neil
Looks good Neil. Can I bring my car over for its nose to be fixed as well?!

That's looks like a 3 year restoration job not 3 weeks before the 6 hour. Great effort.
Hey Paul - that's part of your old car in Neil's now. So you'll be able to cheer even louder for him next weekend :)

I thought I saw a tell tail bit of that Piper Yellow in the transmission tunnel.
It's running!!!
Hey Neil is that my old dash?
No, it is destine for another car if/when it gets going. But lots of cutting will be involved.
This current car is particularly special so it will stay original as built.
Thanks anyway.
Finally have time to pen something down and thank all those involved and giving credit to where credit is due.
Event ran amazingly well, much like clockwork or in Alfa terms, a well oiled twin cam Alfetta 2L. Or one step better, a quad cam 3L 24 V.
I wish to thank our sponsors for supporting the event.
Fiat Chrysler Australia for the supply of the two beautiful black Giulietta's
Maranello Pur Sang
Monza Motors
Maurceri Motors
PACE Engineering
Fastman Consulting
Angove Wine

The event certainly would not have happened if it wasn't for the hard work of the 6 hr committee crew who met at least once a month (in a pub though), endless exchanges of emails, phone calls and documents to make it all come together so smoothly (we have had seven attempts at it, so we figure we will get it right at some stage).
I would like to sincerely thank the committee for their dedication to the event and doing what they do best.
The crew consists of:
Neil Choi, Alister Grigg, Colin Thomas, Anthony Sharp, Chris Carra, Stuart Thomson, Joe Ardi, Adrian Huntley, Victor Lee, Alan Hopla, Mary Colautti, Bruno Colautti, John Whittington, Ross Flood, Eric Rigg, Noel Goltz.
The Victorian Flag Team assisted during the event which was much appreciated.
There were many moments and spectacular stories, some great achievements, some great disasters and some great triumphs over difficult situations. If you want to hear about disasters and hardship and have countless hours and want to be bored, come and have a chat with me sometime.
Lastly, my very special thanks to Alister Grigg who has been the CoC in seven of the eight Alfa 6 hr's since 2006. Alister Grigg has developed the style and driven the control of the event to what it is today in quality and command, with utmost importance in safety and fairness. He is strict on safety and rules but yet compassionate enough to allow participants to compete with the best opportunities and treated all fairly. In all my event dealings with Alister, the first couple of years were the most difficult as we were entering into a new territory of unknown and being called up to the tower countless times, but as we grew and developed, with more events under our belts, we developed as a team and became a great team.
In thanking Alister for his hardwork, he has also announced that he will be retiring from the Alfa 6 hr committee and the Race Control team. It will be a sad lost but also a great gain, he will be returning, as a competitor, so I wish him the best of luck when he is called up to Race Control to have a chat with the new CoC in 2014.
I wish also like to welcome Alan Hopla and Adrian Huntley, who have agreed to step into some very big shoes, they will be my CoC's for 2014. Also welcoming back into the fold will be Doug Gould, a past CoC, he assisted this year and looking rather comfortable to be back in the tower.
I would welcome any club members who wish to join the Alfa 6 hr committee, it is most rewarding, out most Wednesday nights until late, meeting at pubs and listening to all us ramble on how to cut the scrutineering line shorter, how to make drivers behave and not cut the blend line etc etc.
