Tech Session, Lunch, and
Alfa motorheads, this is your annual chance to get your motor & mechanical questions answered (be they street or race). Paul Glynn and Michael Wrigley have about 70 years of experience focused on Alfas, including every production model (from Giuliettas to Montreals to 164s) as well as GTAs and Type 33 racers. In addition, this has become an annual major club event with tech sessions, parts swap, lunch, and a huge parking lot, usually with 30 or 40 Alfas. So, mark your calendar: Saturday, May 17th, noon to 3pm. The May 17th date is rain or shine! Paul Glynn, crew of the successful, early Bertone-designed Alfa GTA and GTV Trans-Am racing efforts (by Horst Kwech, Gaston Andrey, and Bert Everett) will host us at his extensive shop in Rowley. Paul has owned Giuliettas, Spider Veloces, Berlinas, Milanos, and other Alfas, and his shop has done regular service work, extensive restorations, and engine rebuilding. He is also a source of used parts for many models. The shop is spacious and often filled with a variety of Alfas; every year something different is going on in terms of rebuilds and restoration. Paul will provide information about the capabilities of high performance Alfa engine rebuilds and transmission rehabs, and Tom Ducibella will be available to show you how to avoid pesky leaks in convertible tops (he owns a '69 Spider and has installed many tops).
The event takes place in the scenic north shore area in Rowley, MA, in which
many uncongested roads still exist and provide Alfa touring satisfaction.
Sandwiches will be provided in the shop lunchroom for a modest cash sum. You
must sign up with Tom (tom@nanduce.com or
978-921-0125)
by Wednesday before the event at the latest
(May 14th) to indicate if you are doing
the catered lunch. Please do NOT call Glynn Motorsports for event
information; you can direct questions and suggestions to Tom. For example, if
there is sufficient interest in a particular tech session topic, he will try to
make it happen. A parts swap is always included. Please
abide by the 12 – 3pm time window. Directions (see button above): Glynn Motorsports is located at 120 Haverhill Street, Rowley, MA 01909. From I-95 take Route 133 East toward Rowley. In three miles, go straight through a traffic light crossing Route 1. Proceed 1.5 mile and turn right at the sign for Glynn Motorsports. Proceed warily (downshift) as you get close, since it’s easy miss. Routes: If you'd like to take more scenic routes on the way in to Glynn Motorsports, try one of these:
