Iniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Iniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Three Garage Tour, NW Style Words by Fred Russell Photos by Jason Tang To the detriment of our much needed snowpack, the Pacific Northwest is enjoying a very mild winter. Snow has been something we read about online or see on TV burying cars, homes, and lives from Detroit to the frozen forests of the mythical Heavy Metal Alfa. The NW has enjoyed a spring-like season with our first day of sum- mer coming early on March 7th; the day we held our Three Garage Tour. To use the term “garage” may be a bit of a misnomer as none of the three car collections we visited are housed in anything you’d describe as a garage. Combined, these three private collections contain some of the most signifi- cant, beautiful, fun, and diverse cars anywhere, with each showing off the passion and diversity of their own- ers while being displayed in three outstanding buildings The guests listen to a few words from Fred before the tour starts. next door to one another. With the event open to preregistrations only and extend- ed to both the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club (NWARC) and the FIAT Enthusiasts Northwest (FEN), it filled up with the maximum of 200 people in just a couple of weeks. Strategically placed Alfa Romeo A-board signs guided people to the event with a large Alfa banner marking the spot. The majority of guests came from the local area. Kent Fleming brought his guest from Spokane, while Dick and Jessica Camp came over from Yakima. Ulrich Lanius headed up an Alifsti contingent driving down from British Columbia.

The Associate Editor of Road & Track magazine, Sam Smith had just arrived from Michigan, and the Erhler family came from the winterland of Ohio to join our special day. None were disappointed as two of the three collections opened up right at noon. Much to my amazement, one guest with a German accent stopped to tell me that, as a guest of the Ulrichs, he had flown in from Germany to be there that day. Volunteers staffed the doors and issued event wrist bands as people entered the first collection, which be- longs to Greg Whitten, who is both a very early (legendary) employee at Microsoft but also a successful The cars and restless crowd just before the start. businessman and car fanatic.

The commonality is clear, as his vintage choices are not only perfect, rare beau- ties, but they were also technological leaders in their day. Although Greg’s stunning blue LaFerrari wasn’t able to join us this day, the room had many other Ferraris, including his Enzo, F40, 430 Scud, 599 GTO, 599 Aperta, a new California Spyder, the all- wheel drive FF, and his extremely rare 250 GTO Part of Greg's Ferrari space.

Wow! To show just how much fun Bruce can be? If you ignore the unique rocket motor near the corner and all of the cool memorabilia surrounding you and then simply stare at the full-size replicas of the Mars rovers Spirit and Curiosi- ty parked nearby, you realize just how special this man really is. These two replicas of the vehicles NASA landed on the surface of Mars were built for the National Geographic Society and then purchased by Bruce so they can make the museum tours in the coming years. Generous, fun, and with a wonderful variety of cars. People didn’t starve as they toured, as each space had snacks, bottled water, Alfa logo-decorated cookies, coffee, do- nuts, and other fun shaped cookies. When 1:30 came around, the third collection opened up with more finger foods, including Nürburgring-shaped cookies and more bottled water. (Thanks goes to Cindy Akana for her help with over 300 wonderful home-baked cookies.) The third collection, belonging to Jon Shirley, is focused on the cars he enjoys on vintage car drives and race events, and those with a rich history.

Jon's 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C2300 Touring Jon's 1938 Alfa 8C2900B Lungo of the most beautiful and best-driving Alfa Romeos ever produced. The 8C2900 was the car that entered and won the first SCCA race held—which also was the first race at Watkins Glen, New York, back when it was still run on roads and part of the Collier estate. The 8C2300 was part of the Piaggio collection before residing in the Biscaretti Museum for many years as a rolling chassis display. Missing from Jon’s collection on our tour day was his other special Alfa, the 1934 P3 that the Flying Mantuan (Tazio Nuvo- lari) drove flawlessly to victory in arguably the best Grand Prix race win of all time—the 1935 German Grand Prix. In that race, the older 300-hp P3 was going against the 400+-hp Auto Unions and Mercedes-Benz cars on their home track. Tazio drove the race of his life, always staying close while the German car’s extra horsepower went through tires faster but also had higher top speeds. Distinctively different Ferrari's. 500 Mondial (L) 250 GTO (Middle) 375MM Rossellini (R) As the white flag flew, Manfred von Brauchitsch’s Mercedes-Benz led with Tazio 35 seconds behind, but as they made that last long lap of the Green Hell, von Brauchitsch’s worn tires gave way, allowing Tazio the chance to slip past and take the lead until the end. With the faster Mercedes-Benzes beaten, you can only imagine the disappointment and anger on Hitler’s face as the mighty M-Bs and Auto Un- ions took a back seat to the Alfa Romeo P3 #12.

The day before yesterday 166 Notes 175 Images 191 Introduction and acknowledgements POLITICS AND SPORT are by definition incompatible, and they're combustible when mixed. The 1930s proved that: the Winter Olympics in Germany in 1936, when the President of the International Olympic Committee threatened to cancel the Games unless the anti-semitic posters were all taken down now, whatever Adolf Hitler decrees; the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin and Hitler's look of utter disgust when Jesse Owens, a negro, won the 100 metres; the World Heavyweight title fight in 1938 between Joe Louis, a negro, and Germany's Max Schmeling which carried racial undertones and overtones. The fight lasted 2 minutes 4 seconds, and in that time Louis knocked Schmeling down four times. They say that some of Schmeling's teeth were found embedded in Louis's glove... Motor racing, a dangerous but genteel activity in the 1920s and early 1930s, was touched by this, too, and touched hard. The combustible mixture produced two Grand Prix races at Donington Park, in 1937 and 1938, which were just as dramatic, just as sinister and just as full of foreboding. This is the full story of those races.

  • Bernd Rosemeyer
    Sidepodchat – Bernd Rosemeyer Christine: This is show three of five, where Steven Roy turns his written words into an audio extravaganza. These posts were originally published at the beginning of the year on Sidepodcast.com but they are definitely worth a second airing. Steven: Bernd Rosemeyer. Some drivers slide under the door of grand prix racing unnoticed and after serving a respectable apprenticeship get promoted into top drives. Some, like Kimi Räikkönen, fly through the junior formulae so quickly that they can only be granted a license to compete on a probationary basis. One man never drove a race car of any description before he drove a grand prix car and died a legend less than 3 years after his debut with his entire motor racing career lasting less than 1,000 days. Bernd Rosemeyer was born in Lingen, Lower Saxony, Germany on October 14th 1909. His father owned a garage and it was here that his fascination with cars and motor bikes began. The more I learn about Rosemeyer the more he seems like a previous incarnation of Gilles Villeneuve. Like Gilles he had what appeared to be super-natural car control. Like Gilles he seemed to have no fear and like Gilles he didn’t stick rigidly to the law on the road. At the age of 11 he borrowed his father’s car to take some friends for a drive and when at the age of 16 he received his driving license it was quickly removed after the police took a dim view to some of his stunt riding on his motor bike.

  • Phil Hill on the Iconic Ferrari 250 GTO "Why Are We Driving This Damn Coupe?"
    Article from Road and Track: https://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/news/a18029/ferrari-gto- history/ Phil Hill on the Iconic Ferrari 250 GTO "Why are we driving this damn coupe?" By Phil Hill Apr 20, 2017 In honor of what would be his 90th birthday, we're republishing this story, from the January 2000 issue of Road & Track, by the legendary Phil Hill. Many of you probably know Hill as a brilliant racer, notably the only American-born F1 champ, but he also wrote a number of eloquent, insightful articles for R&T, like this on the Ferrari 250 GTO. Enjoy. – Ed. When Olivier Gendebien and I were assigned to drive the new Ferrari GTO at Sebring in 1962, we were somewhat offended. Stirling Moss, Innes Ireland, the Rodriguez brothers, and other drivers were in sports prototypes, aiming for an overall win, and we wondered if there was a conspiracy against us. "Why are we driving this damn coupe?" There was an excellent reason Olivier and I were in the GTO. The Manufacturers' World Championship for 1962 was based on points scored by Grand Touring cars. Sports cars were now called prototypes, and while Stirling, Innes, and the others were running for the glory of the overall win, we were chasing points for the championship ... and earned the maximum by winning the GT class and finishing 2nd overall. As it turned out, the GTO was a delight to drive. That's probably because the emphasis put on the GTs to win the championship meant there was extra effort put into this car, so the GTO was a giant step beyond the Grand Touring cars built up to that point.

  • H.P. Müller Motorcycle World Champion for NSU
    Ingolstadt, 12 July 2005 50 years ago: H.P. Müller motorcycle world champion for NSU • 1955 title winner as a privateer • Runner-up in European Grand Prix championship as early as 1939 In these next few days it will be the 50th anniversary of Hermann Paul Müller’s World Motorcycle Championship title for NSU. Müller, who answered to the name “Renntiger” (race tiger), was the first privateer to win the World Championship in the 250 cc class. He recorded over 200 victories – not just on two wheels – and was one of the German motor racers who were prevented from enjoying a truly great career by the Second World War. H.P. Müller, born in 1909 in Bielefeld, moved to Zschopau (Saxony) in 1935 in order to drive for DKW as a test driver and as a works driver at Auto Union AG. He had already become German motorcycle champion before he switched to racing cars in 1937 and became one of the heroes of the legendary supercharger era. Having matured alongside Bernd Rosemeyer in the DKW motorcycle team, Müller was earmarked as Rosemeyer’s mid-term successor in the Auto Union Silver Arrow after the hero of this time suffered a fatal accident in 1938. H.P. Müller won the French Grand Prix in 1939 and was leading the season’s European Grand Prix championship – the predecessor of what is now the Formula One World Championship – when the war broke out. Tragic for H.P. Müller: no more races took place and the National Socialist government named the 1939 European Champion – Hermann Lang of Mercedes-Benz.

  • Pirelli-Ferrari Monza-Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE A NEW CHAPTER FOR PIRELLI AND FERRARI: BESPOKE P ZERO RUBBER FOR THE FERRARI MONZA, MARANELLO’S FIRST CAR WITH 21-INCH TYRES AT THE PARIS MOTOR SHOW, THE FERRARI MONZA SP1 AND SP2 WILL SHOWCASE TYRES SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED TO MATCH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LIMITED EDITION SPORTS CAR Paris, October 2, 2018 – The traditional collaboration between Pirelli and Ferrari starts another chapter inspired by the open-topped racing cars of the 1950s, brought right up to date with the latest technology from Maranello: the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2. These limited edition cars – highlighting a new “Icon” range – reinterpret the open cars that used to dominate the Mille Miglia and World Sports Car Championship. Pirelli has created a bespoke P Zero for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, starting with a precise requirement for the car’s development: 21-inch diameter tyres. This choice has been made for the first time in Ferrari’s history, presenting Pirelli’s engineers with the challenge of offering the usual levels of stiffness, comfort and performance that is synonymous with Ferrari, despite the record size. The front P Zero tyres also have the crucial task of faithfully conveying to the driver what the road is doing via the steering wheel, in order to maximise driving pleasure. Furthermore, the tyres had to play their part in keeping weight to a minimum on the new car.
