Team Sicilian Suds achieved a remarkable 4th at the recent Fabulous RDA-EBC Winton 6 hour, congratulations to all the drivers and importantly DR Rudolph Hruska who designed the Suds and Sprints properly in the first place, first Alfa Romeo team home, good one, Colin.

Lucky for the rear wheel drive cars that it didn't rain as it would have been New Mini's versus Alfasuds and Sprints for outright podiums, Colin.

Don't forget there was a 90 in our team!  An Alfasud 90 Super?

Its ok because Sheldon has had a 33 as a road car, so he is an boxer Alfisti, in case you didn't know the drivers of the HIGHEST placed Alfa team were Evan Botcher #141 Alfasud, Sheldon McIntosh #142 Alfa 90, Frank Musco #143 Alfa Sprint, Joe Musco #144 Alfa Sprint, seriously fantastic effort, team Sicillian Suds, Colin.

Yep, the three little suds + 90 did us proud. It was another great AROCA event and like usual, heaps of fun!

Thanks for the comments.

FORZA ALFASUD!

So Frank, being the first Alfa Romeo team home, are you going to have a display at Spectacolo to show the Alfisti how brilliant Sprints and Alfasuds are!, Colin.

That's a good idea Colin. I never thought of bringing the race car to Spettacolo. Can I trailer it there? Space to park trailer?

Put it on club plates and drive it there, put it in race car catorgory, 'most succesful Alfa Romeo race team at the RDA-EBC 6 hour', you would have to ask John Hanslow if there is enough trailer parking space available, you could let people sit in your car and have their photo taken, so that they could brag to their freinds, that they sat in the highest placed Alfa Team cars, Colin.

It was a great event and it was so damn good to see the sprints and suds at the top of the tree. i flew and drove from WA to check it out and was not disappointed. unfortunately i got very ill and had to nick off prior to the event's end. was good to meet a few of you

Hey Joey, sorry to hear you got sick, we Victorians should have warned you about buying food from the Winton vendors, i should know better to!, over the years i have been made crook about 4 times, but no complaints from the EBC-RDA 6 hour commitee, our food is prepared by the Alfa club, so you know its good, can you imagine if Winton were allowed to supply the officials, and we all succumed to food poisoning during a race, you have been warned [again], thanks for coming along, maybe get a team from W.A. next year, Colin.

What time at Spectacolo are the autograph session going to take place, for the highest placed Alfa Romeo team, 'The Sicillian Suds' at the recent RDA-EBC 6 hour, we need to know, to manage the expected crowd, Colin.

Congratulations to you all . It just goes to show that power isn't everything .  Well done to the team and FORZA BOXER ENGINES !  I can't wait to finish my 33 16V race car .  I hope to have it for the Philip Island round for its Debut , I hope all the Boxer guys will be impressed with my DTM / BTCC inspired racer .

Congrats again  ;D

ps : it should not be a problem fro trailers , I am preparing a "map" as per the one that was done for COMO park layout so I will be checking on the drawing to see how much trailer space is available .

Thanks guys ,
Martin
