..and as JRKOUPE says, the sound they make is amazing! Until I heard those big straight 8s, I had no idea. It's so easy to look at skinny-wheeled historic race car photos and say, oh they're pretty....but to hear one in person..! Holy sh--, they're hairy monsters!
I loved the noise, I loved the snap of it. The Alfa was sort of the ultimate car of its breed before the war.

1933...think about that..1933...Model A Fords running around...
Funny, they're so dainty with these priceless cars...push that tail out!
These are some great pictures. The splash shots remind me of this...

It poured that day. The pics with the water are turn 10 at Sears Point, the fastest corner on the track, and arguably the scariest. The really fast guys take that at 100 mph+ without lifting, but I don't have the balls to try it. One mistake and you are eating the wall. You go from rumble strip on the inside to the rumble strip on the outside of the turn next to the wall if your line is right. If you hang a wheel off there, odds are you are going into the wall. The Can Am and most of the IMSA guys didn't even come out and run that day.
