In honor of the 100th anniversary of Alfa Romeo, the Sportscar Vintage
Racing Association (SVRA) and the Grand Prix Festival in Watkins Glen
have chosen Alfa Romeo as the "Featured Marque" for the Watkins Glen
Vintage Grand Prix and Grand Prix Festival, September 9-12, 2010.
Multiple activities are planned for both Alfa Romeo street and race cars
at the track and in the village of Watkins Glen, so many, that the lack
of things to do and see will never be a problem. There will be an "Alfa
Race" Sunday afternoon at the track.
We hope to attract many historically important street and competition
cars from all eras and with luck, perhaps some of the newer cars not
currently imported to the US.
A committee has been organized to spearhead the large expected turnout
for Alfa Romeo vintage racers and Alfisti from around the country. A
web site, serving as the central clearinghouse for information about
this event, will be located at www.alfas-at-the-glen2010.com
An additional website, www.grandprixfestival.com covers the numerous
events (rallies, tours, car shows) organized by the Village of Watkins
Glen.
For the Vintage Festival in 2009, an estimated 20,000 spectators
celebrated the 100th year of Morgan.
In 2005, Alfas at the Glen had 55 Alfas racing at the track and more
than 75 registered for the full range of festival events downtown.
All Alfisti will be welcome to gather at Watkins Glen, to cheer on their
brethren on the track and to participate in the village events.
