Concorso Virtuale Italiano Dell’automobile 2020

AROC COncorso Virtuale Italiano Dell’automobile 2020
The Alfa Romeo Owners Club 2020 National Convention hosted by the Alfa Club of the Rockies was postponed until July 2021.

Along with just about every other organization in the world, AROC has looked for ways to keep our membership engaged with the cancellations and/or postponements of National and Chapter events.

Those ways have consisted of Chapter level Zoom meetings, Detroit Chapter's Zoom tech sessions, posting of those tech sessions on the new AROC YouTube channel, AROC Chapter Presidents Zoom with the AROC Board, and now a new type of virtual event is on the way with the intention for all AROC members to have an opportunity to engage with other members.
Two AROC members, Karen Phillips and Richard Cross, presented an idea to the AROC Board of Directors to have some type of virtual concours and the Board thought that was a great idea.

So after naming Karen and Richard the “Event Czars” the Board got with Parabolica, the publisher of Alfa Owner, for a notification of the event in the July issue and the announcement of the awards in the September issue and things were off and running.
  • June 15, 2020 – Last day for acceptance of COVID-2020 entries.
  • June 20, 2020 – Email with Survey Monkey voting link to start voting on COVID-2020.
  • July 6, 2020 – Last day to vote on entries.
  • July 25, 2020 – AROC Virtual Convention. w/Business meeting & Board Officer election.

COncorso Virtuale Italiano Dell’automobile 2020

The name of the event is COncorso Virtuale Italiano Dell’automobile 2020.  AROC Director Doug Zaitz came up with the title name for the event that kept it related to the COVID-19 virus causing all the schedule changes.  AROC Director John Justus began putting the online car show together along with input from AROC Director Arno Leskinen

AROC National is going to present a web based “virtual not a concours” car show. This will be available for all AROC members who would like to display their Alfa(s) in an online virtual concours setting. AROC members will then be asked to vote on a Winner for each class and a Best of Show overall winner.

The voting will be done online, like our Board of Director elections, and the awards will be presented at the AROC Virtual Convention w/Business Meeting & Board Officer election on July 25. 2020 and the results will also be announced in the September issue of the Alfa Owner.
