Well lets see, Rich Manchen originally built this car with Lee Kennedy. Lee always wanted this car but Rich sold it to Mike. Maybe Lee would like to buy it ? Don't really know but it would be worth a call.

I don't know for sure but I would guess it is one of the Alphas of Modified Sports.....

  Looks like Cesar just took out the Chief Starter on his burnout..................  I propose we put our Chief Starter in a Hockey (or is that Hokey) Goalies full gear for safety.
  ... and Mikes Alfa is definitely the "Big Dog Alpha"  in Modified Sports.                                 One Run,  out.

  All kidding aside, I think the SCTA/BNI should look into providing the Starters with "Cool Shirt" for the starters.
  As I have stated before, if I  am belted in my car and the course gets shut down for cleanup or whatever, I have had to shut mine off because I was getting chills... and that's with a SFI-20 suit on.
  If you check their site, they make a carry around case for firefighters......................  Bob

Just for the sake of keeping the thread on track (sorta) I tried to correct Junior's spelling of the brand of the car.  I think I'm getting close now - but let me know if I still have it wrong.  Thanks.

Just add capital letters and you're right.  8-)

Hey, I was trying to be a little bit diplomatic.  So just now I went back to Junior's post and made all of the corrections.  Let's see if they migrate through to this post.

I am curious why this car is red and not the iconic candy blue of the other family racecars?

(I know even the willys's were several different hues but the candy blue that was on the Tbird sticks in my mind as a "Cook" color")

The car is red because they were built in Italy and thats the color that was on the car when we, well Rich, sold it to him. They added more flames than we had.

  Dan, does that car (the Alfalfa) run a straight axle with suspension and if so is it torsion bar or springs?  Thanx, Bob
Title: Re: Mike Cook's Alfa Romeo for sale
Post by: dw230 on May 22, 2013, 01:26:12 AM
Straight axle, no shocks, coil overs in the rear if I remember correctly.

I wouldn't think you'd like it, Bob.  It would get boring, making run after run.
