OURS IS THE QUADRIFOGLIO VERDE. 1923. Driver Ugo Sivocci, the eternal second-place in circuit races, painted on to his Alfa Romeo RL a white square with a green cloverleaf: it was his lucky charm to power him through the Targa Florio. And sure enough, the success was immediate – at the end of the race Sivocci crossed the finish line an outright first. A few months later, Sivocci returned to race once more, but this time without his Clover- leaf and sadly, this was the race that lost him his life. From that moment, in memory of Sivocci, the Cloverleaf would be displayed on every Alfa Romeo competition vehicle. But the white square would become a triangle, to symbolise his absence. That’s how the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Verde was born, the sign under which the greatest drivers of all time raced such as the legendary Tazio Nuvolari and Juan Manuel Fangio.

With the help of our partner, BFGoodrich Tires, the series expanded to nine events for 2012, and included one special event in each division. These race weekends featured elements that aren’t always available at National Races, adding to the competitors’ experi- ence. We also unveiled the Majors program in the middle part of the coun- try this season, giving racers in the Rocky Mountain, Midwest and Southwest Divisions an opportunity to run for a larger championship without having to travel the country.

(CCI) for this class, but other manufacturers are presented so you are aware of them. Arrow Dynamics (often shortened to Arrow) Founded in 1946 by WWII vets Karl Bacon and Ed Morgan. Originally a small company making merry-go-rounds and other minor attractions for local amusement parks They were contracted by Disneyland in 1953 to build many of Disneyland’s trademark rides, most of which were quite different than what else was around at the time Disney was pleased with their rides and continued to hire them for many years. This resulted in Arrow’s development of the modern steel roller coaster for the Matterhorn Bobsleds During the 60s, they didn’t do much coaster-wise, but worked towards developing the log flume, a roller coaster-esque water ride where riders sit inline in log themed boats and navigate a trough of water, culminating in a major drop and splashdown In the mid-1970s, they picked back up in the roller coaster market with the development of the modern inversion, securing their position as the dominant steel coaster manufacturer in the US o Their coasters were in high demand at this time. During the 70s / 80s, pretty much every major park had an Arrow coaster, if not multiple Arrow coasters One of Arrow’s major trait was of being innovators in the industry, often being the first to create a certain style of ride o They invented the suspended coaster, a style of coaster where the cars hang beneath the track rather than ride on top, and the cars can swing freely from side to side (unlike inverted coasters).

  • Brembo 'Easy Check' Innovation Makes
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BEST EVER BREMBO PRESENCE AT NORTH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW 22 Different Marques Showcase Brembo’s Original Equipment Success DETROIT, Jan. 16, 2010 – Confirming itself as a leading manufacturer in the Original Equipment business, Brembo brakes are fitted to almost one in six cars on display at this year’s North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), held in Detroit. Eighty percent of the Brembo-equipped cars on display at Detroit show are high- performance models; clearly confirming Brembo’s leading edge role in automotive brake technology. Brembo’s advanced technology is finding an increasingly appreciative audience among car manufacturers and not just the traditional European performance car makers. On the domestic side of the OE equation, American marques such as Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford and Tesla are among Brembo’s clients at Detroit, each with its own interpretation of high-performance motoring. Specifically, Brembo brakes are fitted to the Buick Regal GS, the Cadillac CTS-V coupe and XTS sedan, all three making their world debuts. In addition, the Chevrolet Camaro SS and Corvette ZR1, the Chrysler 300C and Dodge’s Challenger SRT8 and Viper Laguna Seca showcase Brembo, as well as the 2012 Ford Taurus SHO, Mustang GT 5.0 and Ford Racing Fiesta. Brembo is also featured on several US-based specialty vehicles, including three Tesla electrics and the Revenge Verde supercar, the only car fitted with Brembo carbon ceramic brakes at Detroit. Since 1961, Brembo has been acknowledged as a world leader in high-performance brakes so it’s no surprise that virtually every European manufacturer of high- performance vehicles chose Brembo for its brakes.
