 I'm at a loss, and don't understand anything anymore.  You say that if they
 sold 3,000 units a year, that may have kept Alfa here.  You mean we 3,000
 odd Alfisti should have stepped out and buy a new Alfa, ...EVERY YEAR?  Come
 on!  I think the Alfisti would go for that special Alfa model, we cannot buy
 the whole line of cars.>>>>

3,000 cars a year is not a lot. The annual US auto sales range from 12 to 15 
million. I don't know what the total membership is in AROC but if it is even 
1/4 the size of the Porsche club that would be 25,000 members. Enough to 
support over 8 years of 3,000 units per year.  

<<< PS And the only people to blame for not racing at Pocono are the Alfisti
 themselves...>>>

Actually you're right, and we only asked for 25 people to step forward. Guess 
we understand why Alfa pulled out.
