Going on the Snowball

Well, I've had the GT4 about 4 months now. Just changed a leaking CV boot, got the odomoeter working, it's time to rally.
Leaving tomorrow for the Snowball rally in the Sierras. I'll try to post some pictures from the road.

It's starting with a prologue run at night from the north side of the GG bridge--should be fun. I better see if those chains fit...

 

It should be a fun event. I will bring a Alfa 1969 GTV red with yellow nose. See you there.

 

Well I thought I might spend some time in my hotel room uploading some pictures from the Rally on Saturday. There was too much fun to be had so I gambled, ate and drank instead, but now I'm back so here are some pictures.

Besides myself, there was another 1975 red GT4 driven by Dave Cave. His car came with a valuable "FER R RI" license plate from the PO. The people were great, cars great, raods great and now great stories to remember. One story for me was whaen Dave and I eventually got clear road after passing a civilian on a passing lane on highway 70. He starts pulling hard and although I was hoping to minimize ticket risk, I had to go. Two GT4s cutting along the river on a clear day on an open road...

Car ran great, even at 9000ft elevation (though rich).

Leslie - 308gts79 was there in an Alfa GTV (car needs to be '75 or older).

Great event indeed! It was nice meeting you both, Dave and Armando. I have a video of a fast 308GT4 here to share

See you at the Melee?

Armando,
Lovely GT4s and making great sound. Great scenery. Any picture of both GT4s coming out of the tunnel?
I wish my 79 308 GTS was there. I will try to go to the Melee and some other low-key driving events.

Here is Bring the trailer reporting on the Snowball event, my yellow-nose, "rally-prepped" Alfa GTV, as reported, was on the second picture, leading the packing, sort of ..... Great event and enjoyed it very much.

Nice pics , looks like a great time. Certainly not something we would see in Florida, no snow and mountains here.
