Vince Vaccaro 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV
written by Bernard Martin
Vincent Vaccaro, from South Salem NY  has vintage racing for a little over 9 years. He purchased his current racer, a 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV five years ago. Prior to this car Vince raced a 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta which he campaigned in Pittsbrugh for 4 years when the track was called Beaverun.

The 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000, which hits a top speed of around 130 mph has got a 2 litre engine and twin Weber 45s. It's sports a red and black livery that features the Captain Lawrence Brewery Logo, the brewery that's owned by Vince's son Scott and located in Elmsford, NY.  
The car began it's career in 1990 in San Francisco, CA as a SCCA racer.  In 2005, it was re-built by Norm Gerwin in Pasadena, CA. The flames on the paint scheme are Gerwin's signature and evoke his initial builds of street rods in the Los Angeles area.

​The restoration is immaculate and the fit and finish on this racer is show quality.

Vince bought it in 2012 and has campaigned the GTV with SVRA (Sportscar Vintage Racing Association) and VRG (Vintage Racer Group) up and down the East Coast at iconic tracks such Sebring, Savannah, Indianapolis, Mid-Ohio, Summit Point, Watkins, Glen and for the past 5 years here at Pitt Race, the Pittsburgh International Race Complex.

When we asked him about his favorite section of the newly expanded Pitt Race course he got a big smile!  "The Downhill corkscrew is just incredible!"

In 2014, Vince was treated to a tour of the newly re-opened Alfa Romeo Museum and he told us that the racing history of Alfa Romeo on display was something that each and every Allfisti should some day make a visit to see.

Vince goes on to explain that the Alfa Romeo racers are a very close community who really support each other during the races. ​

Bernard Martin presents the "All Italian Marque of the Year" PVGP 2008 poster to Gwen Lewis, Mike Kerbert, Fiat Chrysler Corp, and Jobie Glessner, GM at Ron Lewis Alfa Romeo.
Bernie Martin, the Managing Directorre of the Cortile Italian Car Show at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix presented the #PVGP 2008 "All Italian" Marque of the Year framed poster to Ron Lewis Alfa Romeo during "An Evening with Giulia".

The 2008 PVGP Marque of the Year celebration was the inception of the Cortile. It's where the idea of the Cortile started

"It should bring you good luck in your new showroom." said Bernie

​It certainly must be brining some great luck, because it was this very night that the idea of a Alfa Romeo Owner's Club Chapter took root!
