Updated AROC Competition Code

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

       The following notice appears in the June 2002 issue of Alfa Owner:

     The Alfa Romeo Owner's Club Competition code has been updated.  You may 
down load and print a copy for yourself from the Internet at: 
http://www.aroc-usa.org/comp1.html   You may also download a file containing 
only the updated pages to revise an existing copy of the Code.
     Those without Internet access may order one for $5 from AROC's National 
Office: 10 Raskin Road, Morristown, NJ 07960-2824 or (877) 399-AROC or 
399-2762.

     The AROC Competition Code has been revised to include changes approved 
by the Board of Directors at the National Convention in Nashville last year.  
The first change is inclusion of a definition of what is an Alfa Romeo for 
purposes of eligibility for the Fast Time of Day trophy.
     The method of computing modification points for non stock wheel rims has 
been changed.  The previous method was a bit confusing as it was based on 
widths of rims without regard for what had been fitted from the factory.  The 
revision adds one point per half inch increase in wheel rim width from the 
stock factory size.
     The method for computing modification points for non stock exhaust 
systems has been changed.  Points are now assessed for changes from the 
original cast iron exhaust manifold to a different cast iron manifold and for 
changes to tube headers.  References to air injection manifolds have been 
removed.
     Original equipment shock absorbers may no longer be available for all 
Alfas.  Therefore, points for a change to any other shock absorber is now one 
point per car.  Use of adjustable shocks is three points per vehicle.  The 
change is no longer computed for front and rear of the Alfa separately.
     The Competition Code now assesses points for modifications to Spica and 
Electronic Fuel Injection systems and components thereof.  The only previous 
modification points were for changes from fuel injection to Weber style 
carburetors.

     Comments or suggestions for future revisions to the Competition Code 
should be directed to the National Competition Chair at the address shown on 
the Contents page of Alfa Owner.

Ciao,
Russ Neely
