But not too many of 'em actually drive Alfas! confused24.gif

A lot of my customers are Alfa owners and I thought it would be a good idea (Not to mention a good time!) to go up and get to know the Alfa Club guys a little better. The event was their driving school at the Streets of Willow Springs. It was a fantastic weekend with a bunch of great guys. There were even a couple of other Porsches there.

On to the pics:

Thanks Jon! Tires are 225/50-15 G-Force TAs (Three years old, hard and slippery) on 7" Fuchs all round.

Gonna get some stickies before the next time out.

Wow, you're fitting 225s under there? Are the fenders rolled at all? You should try the Toyo R888. I have the RA1s and the R888 is said to be better. I have a hard time believing that they could be better. I use the Kumho V710s for AX and the RA1s for the track.

Yeah, the fenders have been ball batted to within an inch of their lives. Going to go with riveted GT flares pretty soon so I can fit 8s and 9s under there.

I might try the R888s. I've got a lot of miles on the RA1s, on many different cars and they are great. They're not the absolute stickiest I've run, but they last forever and are consistent over their lifetime. I hope the 888s are as good.

A friend of mine is running some Nitto something or others that are supposed to be a "rebadged" Toyos and he swears by them. Anyone know anything about them?
