Notes from the road
Off Course Doesn’t Mean You’re Lost
A few days ago, I heard something on a local radio program that blew me away. It seems
someone, evidently an adult, had asked the program’s host: “Is England in London?” Say what?!
Mind you, this was not some story gleaned off
of the Internet; the program was on our classical
music station, which doesn’t indulge in repeating
bogus tales from who knows where. I would have
laughed myself silly over this tidbit if there hadn’t
been a touch of tragicomedy about it.
It’s startling, to say the least, to be confronted
by this sort of topsy-turvy view of geography. But
when you think about it, it’s also not all that surprising. In this age of global air travel, passengers
see the world in disjointed bits and pieces. They
board a plane at Point A and land at Point B, having caught few if any glimpses of whatever parts
of our planet they’ve crossed en route. And while
I’m certain that the vast majority has a pretty
good idea of what’s passing unseen below, there
are probably also those for whom all that geography is a vague concept at best. Their world consists of little more than airline hubs and the cities
or resorts they serve, and that’s too bad.
What’s more, I suspect it’s not all that different for many of the people who do their holiday
traveling by car. Triple A says millions of vacationers take to the road instead of the air; and you can
be sure that time constraints and habit have most
of them take the Interstate. They see the super
slab as the fastest way to get from the Big City to
Orlando or Dollywood or The Beach. And they’re
right – on that point. But I’ll wager that in doing
so, their awareness, their enjoyment of the countryside they whiz by isn’t much greater than that
of a passenger in the middle row of a wide-body
at 30,000 feet. What they see, what they experi2 TARHEEL CHAPTER FOOTNOTES
ence, is the rest stops, burger joints and motels
en route, and not much more.
I can empathize with them, sort of, if their
main reason for taking the Big I is what it has to
offer – quickly getting to their destination, with
all those reassuring signs to guide them; and the
convenience of gas stations at practically every
exit. Fighting all that traffic, standing in line at
fast-food places surrounded by a noisy crowd of
other holiday travelers, and – oh yeah, missing all
those sights is a small price to pay, right? Maybe,
but I suspect another reason is a fear of getting
lost in the boonies.
I’ll bet there are folks who would probably enjoy wandering off the beaten path but can’t bear
the thought of navigating the unknown. In fact,
I used to know a couple of guys like that; they
didn’t trust their Garmins (though apparently with
some justification); they were uncomfortable with
asking strangers for directions; and they absolutely dreaded the idea of spending hours trying
to find their way back to what they saw as civilization. (Uh-Oh, drive faster, Marge; I hear banjos!)
Way I see it, that’s no way to travel crosscountry. My philosophy is, if you’re gonna drive,
enjoy it. Real road trips are at least as much
about the journey as the destination. (In a few
past instances I’d rather not dwell on, it was the
journey, period. But that’s a story for another day.)
Getting there ought to be half the fun, as those
old Cunard Lines used to say, which is why, ideally, a road trip should take you down nice two-lane
roads which let you put your Bimmer through
its paces as you savor the sights. But even if you
have long way to go and a short time to get there
(to borrow a phrase), taking a sparsely-traveled
US or state route will be just as rewarding – and
http://www.tarheelbmwcca.org
still get you where you’re going.
Now, I realize I’m being kinda repetitive, seeing as how this Road Less Traveled thing has
been a favorite theme of mine, so why am I beating the same drum again? Well, it’s because my
previous ramblings on the subject left out a couple of important details. (At least, I think they’re
important.) For one thing, notwithstanding my
penchant for exploring back roads, I don’t get lost.
This may not strike you as such a big deal these
days, when just about everyone can rely on GPS,
but I’ve been doing it since back in the days of
the Double Nickel, CB Good Buddies, Fuzzbusters
– and no GPS. I know, I know; this sounds suspiciously like I’m bragging. Well, I am, actually. But
I think you’ll forgive me after I share with you my
Lost and Found story.
Back when I first caught this road trip bug,
I was a blundering novice. Like everyone else, I
navigated using paper maps and directions scribbled on a piece of paper. It wasn’t easy. I wasn’t all
that great finding my way in unfamiliar territory.
To be perfectly honest, I was pathetic! It seems
The Editor’s Desk...
While at The Vintage, I was digging through
some posters that BMW CCA Foundation was selling and I ran across some old calendar pages that
I recognized.
Back in 2002, BMW AG put together a really
nice calendar to celebrate my favorite BMW, the
2002. I ordered that calendar from Germany back
then and it is still one of my favorites. (And, as I
usually don’t throw anything away, I have that calendar squirreled away).
It got me thinking, why did BMW not put out
one of these every year? I started digging and I
found something even better!
On the BMW site bmw-classic.com you can
actually make your own using the hundreds of
stock BMW AG photos––cars of all vintage, motorcycles, advertising photos, etc. Select the year and
the starting month and they print it up!
Needless to say, I have my 2014 classic
BMW calendar on the way, all for about 44 Euros
shipped.
Checkout on the site was interesting... all I
can say is thank you Google translate! -ed.

like I’d find myself in terra incognita practically
every time I took to the road. It was depressing. It
put a serious crimp in my enthusiasm for exploring off the beaten path. What eventually saved
my roadie butt (not to mention my ego) was my
introduction to something called a Rally.
Not coincidentally, what prompts me to
segue to this topic is a Tarheel Chapter anniversary. Namely, it was almost forty years ago this
month that our then-newly formed club staged its
first competitive driving event, the Raleigh Rally.
Now, lest the term ‘rally’ conjures up visions of
mud-bespattered cars, festooned with logos and
enough driving lights to start a forest fire, barreling hell-bent down dirt tracks through no-man’sland, let me clarify: This event was nothing like
that.
Organized by Gary Gentry and Phil Williamson, two club members with a perverse love for
numbers and intricate course instructions, this
event claimed to be strictly a low-key affair. The
rallyists – maybe a dozen or so club members,
mainly driving 2002s – were handed written in-
structions that, if followed to the letter, would get
them to the finish. Or at least that’s what Messrs.
Gentry and Williamson promised. The instructions also said that the rally would run only on
public roads, at specified speeds that would never
exceed posted speed limits and – oh, yeah, there
would be checkpoints from time to time.
It all sounded pretty arcane, but enticing too,
so we – that is my trusty navigator Barbara and I
– took the plunge. We revved up the Bavaria – and
ended up meandering for hours all over the rural
countryside north of Raleigh. (At least, it was rural then; it’s mostly swallowed up by subdivisions
and Falls Lake today.) We pored over the instructions, tried mightily to stay on course, stopped
at checkpoints as directed and, to our profound
relief, found the finish many miles later. We didn’t
win; heck, we weren’t even close; but there was a
bonus. In the process, we got to cruise through
some really pretty country we otherwise would
probably never have visited; and we didn’t get
into each other’s hair. (It’s been said that road rallies are the toughest test of any relationship.) In

short, we had a ball!
More to my point, though, we also didn’t get
lost! And our instructions had less to do with
it than you might think. Rookie rallyists that we
were, we thought they were, at best, convoluted;
at worst, they were just plain confusing. But the
whole exercise forced us to remain aware of where
we’d been – remember landmarks, keep track of
the turns we made, and so forth – even as we took
in the scenery en route. It enabled us to find our
way back to our route when we did miss a couple
of turns. In other words, it was a sink-or-swim
course in learning the difference between being
truly lost and merely being off-course.
Taking part in that rally plus a subsequent
string of others, mostly with this chapter but also
in various Oktoberfest rallies, reaffirmed my love
for driving through the outback and my faith in
following my nose. What these rallies taught me
was not so much a discipline; that’s too rational a
term. It was more a case of learning how to maintain a sense of where I was on the map, in mental
osmosis fashion, even while I was gawking at
the scenery or focused on taking the proper line
through the next turn on a twisty, and snowy, twolane somewhere in Montana.
In the years since, I have driven thousands of
miles on back roads in most of the Lower Forty
Eight, on business and for pleasure. I still use
maps – I find fiddling with a GPS unit too distracting – but I usually do so only beforehand, to get a
feel for the lay of the land as it were. And I don’t
get lost. These days, this may mark me as a dinosaur, but I enjoy it. Unlike the stereotypical camera-toting tourist who never sees his surroundings except through a lens, I’m able to experience
first-hand the natural beauty of the countryside
and the out-of-the-way places I’ve come to see –
and still get to where I want to be.
If there’s a message here, it’s this: Next time
you’re off to visit kinfolk or friends a couple of
states away, get off the Interstate, take your bearings, and pretend you’re on a rally. I’m not telling
you to chuck your GPS; just turn it off and follow
your nose for a while. Who knows; it may grow on
you.

CLUB RACING REPORT
BY PAUL HOECKE
Bassen, Clay Rule at VIR;
BW Scores Podium at RA
Hello, fellow racing fans! If you’ve participated in any BMW CCA Club Racing (CR) events
at VIR in recent years – as a racer, crew member or
spectator – you’ve pretty much come to expect a
packed paddock and fast action on the track. After
all, those are some of the hallmarks of our home
track. But the club race our chapter hosted in
April strikes us as having exceeded those expectations. In fact, we think that race was one for the
books. Not only did it draw some sixty club racers
– including seventeen local hot shoes – representing five Club Regions including Canada and a
dozen classes, but it also turned into a veritable
speed fest the likes of which we haven’t seen in a
while.
Some of that was predictable. Although
the season had technically started a couple of
months before, we’re told that many club racers,
particularly those who hail from more northern
climes, saw this race as the true season kickoff.
Of course, there was also the prospect of driving
on a world-class race course; and the huge crowd
of vintage racers courtesy of the VDCA, Tarheel
Chapter’s perennial co-sponsor, added a lot of
color to the event. But it was the combination of
mild weather, a dry track all weekend long, and
the presence of some really fast drivers that gave
this race an extra shot of adrenaline.
Local drivers were well represented in about
half of the classes, but the Big Kahuna in the paddock was, without question, the C-Mod E30 M3
of Steve Bassen. That M3 is said to have racked
6 TARHEEL CHAPTER FOOTNOTES
up one of the longest track histories hereabouts,
if not in all of CR; but Bassen’s handiwork – the
hand-built motor and expert bodywork – has kept
it arguably better than new all these years. With
Bassen at the wheel, No.127 is always a daunting
challenge for any competitor, including drivers
with much newer cars. But this time around, Bassen also had BimmerWorld’s James Clay as his codriver. As other potential competitors, but especially the six other CM drivers (including Tarheel
Chris Lewis), soon found out, this proved to be an
unbeatable combination.
There was local talent aplenty in the other
classes as well. I-Prepared, the largest class with
nine entries, had Rich Abraham in his JMT-built
E36 M3; Dennis Pippy, Shane Gunn and Alan Davis joined four other drivers in M3T; Phil Antoine
and Tom Tice ran with five other racers in Spec
E36; and Sean McKay raced in the six-car I-Sport
group. Other members of our homegrown racing community included April Curtis (DM); Jason
Crist (GTS2); and Shane Kleinpeter (J-Sport); plus
Ray Korman, Roman Lifson, Dave White, Jack
Wilkins and ‘Iron Mike’ Hinkley, who were there to
co-drive with friends. This set the stage for some
truly memorable racing action.
On Friday, Bassen was still recovering from
a nasty bug, which gave Clay the signal to show
his stuff. He easily qualified for the pole in the
first sprint race with a blazing 1:58.780 lap time;
and that afternoon ran away from the 43-car field
to take the overall victory by a margin of almost
http://www.tarheelbmwcca.org
34 seconds! Almost half a lap behind him, a running battle ensued between a bunch of CM and
IP drivers, with Abraham ultimately posting the
next best result by a Tarheel driver, finishing sixth
overall for second place in IP.
One lap down, Pippy bested several determined challengers to win his class. Farther back
in the pack, two other local drivers, Kleinpeter
and Curtis, also posted class victories. But our
guys in the Spec E36 group struggled. In fact, this
popular class seemed to be cursed. Tice finished
fourth, but Antoine suffered a case of bent valves
before this race; and another Spec E36 driver
DNF’ed, never having made it past Lap Four. This
left just four Spec E36 drivers to compete in Saturday’s one-hour endurance race.
Now, long races are allegedly as much about
endurance as speed, but with Bassen now recovered from his flu and teamed up with Clay, that
concept went out the window. Having quickly
qualified for the pole with a 2:01.776 run, Bassen
got a fast start and led for eleven laps until his pit
stop, at which point Clay took over. Meanwhile,
the lead had passed to Lewis and then an IP car,
but Clay blasted out of the pits and reeled in a
dozen spots in the space of just six laps to retake
the lead. He never looked back after that, taking
the checker for the overall win by an astonishing
margin – 1:08.277! Only one other driver finished
on the lead lap. However, one lap down, Lewis
managed to finish third overall and in class.
Two laps down, Crist with Lifson as co-driver
took the GTS2 title in ninth place overall; and
some eight seconds later, Davis and co-driver
Tim Bell grabbed the M3T crown a lap ahead of
their nearest class rival. Farther back, Kleinpeter
claimed the only other class win by a local hot
shoe in this race. The fast pace also proved to
be pretty hard on machinery; by mid-race, it had
forced six drivers to take their cars behind the
wall, including two more Spec E36’s. As Antoine
told us, “it was not a good day for us.”
We suspect certain drivers breathed a secret
sigh of relief Sunday morning when they found
out that Bassen and Clay had chosen not to race
in the 9-lap feature sprint. It was something of an
anticlimax for those of us on the sidelines, but it
didn’t prevent another high speed display. With
the field down to just 33 cars, the track was wide
open. It allowed C-Mod driver Robert Chang (who
hails from elsewhere in our Region) to lead flag
to flag and win overall with a margin of almost 29
seconds.
The best finish by a local driver was Lewis’;
he took the checker in third place overall. And
Abraham was able to claim a personal triumph.
He chased his perennial IP rival Krista Williams,
without success, until the next-to-last lap, when
he got around her in Turn One and held on, to
beat her to the finish and sixth place overall by
a tad under 0.3 seconds. However, the only local
hot shoes with actual class victories in this race
were Kleinpeter and Curtis – plus (if we count
cars) Crist’s No. 360 M3, supposedly driven by
buddy Josh Smith even though Crist was listed
as the qualifying driver. (Go figure.) For us local
driver fans, it was a somewhat subdued end to
the event, but after the excitement of the preceding two days, perhaps a soft landing was just the
ticket. (Whew!)
While all this was going on, the VDCA put on
a fine show as well. At this point, we don’t have
results, but we can tell you that Group 8 saw twice
as many BMW drivers take part this time as in last
year’s race. They were Chip Stabler and Holland
Hale with Stabler’s M3; Al ‘The Rev’ Taylor, back in
fine fashion with his greenish hard-top 325i convertible; and the two 2002 pilots, Skip Bryan and
Joe Liles. We expect Skip to deliver a report to us
in due course, but our sideline observations suggest that he won his class in all the vintage races
that weekend.
We have nothing of note to report about the
NASA scene, but we need to remind you that
this month will see a couple of CR events which
are likely to attract local drivers. First, there’s a
race at NJMP, on its Thunderbolt course, which is
probably taking place as you read this. And most
importantly, late this month, CR returns to VIR
with a three-race event jointly sponsored by Tarheel Chapter with The PCA’s Region 2. So, once
8 TARHEEL CHAPTER FOOTNOTES
again, folks – be sure to mark the dates, June 21 –
24, on your calendars. (Hoo-Ah!)
On the local pro racing front, Team BimmerWorld (BW) continued its chase of the Street
Tuner (ST) championship in Round Four of the
Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge
(CTSCC) series at Road Atlanta in May. With team
owner Clay focused on the E92 project (and thus
free to help Bassen beat all comers at VIR), the
job fell once again to BW’s three ST teams; and it
was the rookie duo of Greg Strelzoff and Connor
Bloum in the No.80 car who did BW proud. They
ran a great race, led during portions of the race,
and landed on the ST podium with a secondplace finish, with Bloum taking the checker right
behind Terry Borcheller’s 128i. Considering that
the last twelve minutes of the race ran under caution, it’s conceivable that Bloum could still have
won, but that’s racing.
Unfortunately, the other two teams didn’t
fare as well, though it wasn’t their fault. Greg
Liefooghe and Tyler Cooke were “fast and flawless” and in sight of another podium finish in
the No. 81 car when a hit by a competitor ruined
their chances. They finished 13th. And the No.82
car of Dan Rogers and Seth Thomas was banged
up even harder by a competitor who “made some
pretty poor choices”, Rogers said later. It required
wholesale repairs of front and rear suspensions,
so that the best finish Rogers and Thomas could
salvage was 22nd place.
By the time you read this, Team BW will be at
Mid-Ohio for Round Five. We wish them luck – as
well as no encounters of the crunchy kind. So stay
tuned.

North Carolina in Pebble Beach?
If you saw my article last month in Footnotes
titled “Pebble Beach in North Carolina?”, hopefully you were intrigued by the potential for the
inaugural Pinehurst Concours d’Elegance on May
5 developing into our own version of the Pebble
Beach Concours d’Elegance. But there is nothing
like seeing the “real thing”.
With the BMW CCA Oktoberfest happening
this year in Monterey, California August 19-24, I
am sure a good many Tarheel Chapter BMW CCA
members have thought about going out early to
attend some of the events happening during the
world renowned Monterey Auto Week. The pinnacle of the “Week” is the Pebble Beach Concours
d’Elegance which happens on Sunday August
18. For those of you thinking about going, let me
share some advice from living in California, and
attending the “Week” for many years.
As a BMW CCA member, the “must do events”
start on Friday August 16. (Check out all the other
great events at a link I provide below.) The Legends of the Autobahn is a car show put on jointly
by the BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, and Audi car
clubs. This event started out years ago as some
BMW owners parking together at the Concourso
Italiano (another good event that still happens
on Friday). “Legends” has now grown into its own
separate and (large) prestigious event. Last year
BMW introduced the Z4 Zagato Roadster there.
And don’t miss the dinner for car club members
on Friday evening at the nearby country club.
Plan on spending all day Saturday August 17
at the BMW CCA Festorics held during the Monterey Motorsports Reunion at the Laguna Seca
race track. The BMW CCA organizes a BMW and
Mini only corral for members to park their cars
together, and a member-only track side hospitality tent. Food and drinks are provided, too. During the day, wander down to the open paddocks
to see an amazing array of historically significant
and rare race cars being prepared to go out on the
track to do what they were designed to do. This
isn’t a rolling car show. These guys are really racing their cars, and they mean business! Don’t be
surprised to run into Jay Leno (in his trademark
blue jeans shirt and pants). He is usually there
poking around the cars, and talking to their owners.
The BMW Festorics runs thru the weekend,
but Saturday by far is the most popular day as
Sunday is when the Pebble Beach Concours
d’Elegance happens. If you go to the Councours,
plan on arriving early in the morning at one of the
satellite parking areas to catch a shuttle bus to
the Pebble Beach Country Club. (You can’t drive
there unless you have a VIP pass or are showing a
car.) It is best to buy your tickets in advance. And
be sure to dress nicely. This isn’t a t-shirt, cut offs,
and sandals kind of event. The cars you see will
be amazing. The scenery is spectacular. Just try
not to be distracted by all the celebrities, CEOs,
and sports stars you’ll see there, too. (Btw - Jay
will be wearing a suit and tie on Sunday).
There is SO much more that goes on during
the “Week”. I have only scratched the surface. If
you are planning to attend BMW CCA Oktoberfest,
don’t overlook the chance to go early and enjoy
everything that makes the “Week” so special to car
enthusiasts from around the world. Can’t overlook
however that getting a hotel will be a challenge.
Most book a year in advance. And the rates go
thru the roof during the “Week”. The BMW CCA
has some hotel deals (which may all be long gone
by the time this article appears) . Book as soon
as you can to get whatever is still available if you
want to stay in the Monterey area. If you need to
stay up towards Santa Cruz or San Jose to find a
room (and/or save money), you are only an easy 1
hour drive away. Same too for all the great restaurants in Monterey and Carmel. They’ll be packed

during the “Week”. Not to miss is car enthusiast
favorite Baja Cantina in nearby Carmel Valley—
great steaks and Mexican food. During the “Week”,
the cars you’ll see in the parking lot alone would
make for a great car show in most places around
the country. If you choose not to ship or drive
your BMW to California, but want one to attend
BMW only corrals, etc., BMWs are available from
several rental agencies in the San Francisco Bay
Area. You might also check BMW’s new On Demand rental service (coming soon to LA, ½ day
drive away).
Below are some links to websites for more
info, and where you can register to attend events.
If you have ever thought that someday you should
attend the “Week” – this is the year to go!

Jon’s Gonna Need A Bigger Cupboard
This is to introduce you to my good friend
and fellow BMW CCA member, Jon Kozlow. He is
in his second year of competing in NASA’s Time
Trials, and he is doing extremely well, winning
time after time in Class D (TTD). But he is also incredibly humble, which is why I thought I’d better
tell you about him, since he won’t.
A life-long speed junkie (something his childhood BMX opponents know a thing or two about),
Jon has personally built his ’97 E36 M3 into a
track record-destroying machine. Using only a
‘relatively’ flat street-side parking spot in his
Charlotte neighborhood as his workspace, he has
prepped the M3 to its creative limits. Yet, the car
is street-legal! In fact, you may spot him commuting through the streets of South Charlotte, taking
his two young daughters to and from daycare.
(Lucky girls!)
But his winning ways have presented him
with a problem. You see, NASA’s trophies for its
Time Trials winners are typically mugs, glasses
and plaques; and Jon has been filling his household cabinets and cupboards with mini-Mason jar
mugs. Emblazoned with the NASA logo and the
‘1st Place’ legend, the mugs are threatening to
overwhelm his storage spaces. And the high-quality silk screening on the mugs isn’t dishwasherfriendly, meaning they’re strictly for display!
What’s more, as if having a huge set of these
fine beverage holders to admire isn’t enough, Jon
has already entered three events in 2013, setting
two track records in the process. And he is going
for more. His collection of mugs is likely to grow
as well, to the envy of every NASA entrant. But if
he wants to drink a toast or two, he’ll have to look
elsewhere. Oh, well!
If you happen to be at a NASA event and see
Jon in the paddock, stop by and say hello. But like
I said, he is incredibly humble, so don’t expect
him to say anything about track records – or his
epic collection of mini-Mason jar mugs either.
