Hi All,

Hope to see you on Sunday the 4th May.

We are good to go with an Alfa 33 (first hit out) and a 147. With the 33, I am having difficulty with spinning the tyres on quick getaways. I might be fun but not desirable on timed run up a hill. Any suggestions?
Don't spin the tyres on your start, as you are wasting time, go as fast as you can without wheel spin, and do a burnout before you take off, to warm the tyres up and to throw all the mud off your tyres, Rob Roy Hillclimb is very enjoyable with plenty of car perving in the pits, and its close to Melbourne, not a 2 hour drive to somewhere, Colin.
Thanks Col..... very good advice.
You will find the start line at Rob Roy is VERY slippery, almost impossible not to wheel spin without traction control.
Look forward to seeing the 33 and 147.... hope we get a few more. If you need any more info let me know.
I will be there early and reserve some spots for Team Alfa.
Col..... are you coming up... even to spectate? BTW... I have brand new Alfa 33 brochure that you can have if interested?
