@hazards280, short answer, The Alfa was my favorite race car and car # was always 02. I bought a 1966 Alfa GTV (True Veloce car) in 1993 to try vintage racing, I'd retired from SCCA racing a few years earlier, and a Jaguar friend (XK-150, XKE V-12 racers) asked me out to a vintage race weekend, and as my wife said on the way home "I don't like the look in your eye" Oh no need to worry honey, I'll try it for a year or so, and be done
Sold my series 1.5 XKE to buy something fun, found the Alfa, and it was love at first sight, so my wife said
She also noticed a difference in my racing attitude in Vintage racing, I came home "Happy" after a weekend, rather than on the phone Monday morning ordering parts to make it faster. I enjoyed racing AGAIN
The friends I made were more important than where I placed. So, yea, Alfa #02 was/is an important part of my life, sorry to babble on, but everything about racing the Alfa was FUN!! Cheers Tom.
