ON THE COVER:
The cover this month is a photo taken of our 87 325i race car
at the recent Chump Car race down at Road Atlanta. We have had
so much fun with that race series––we did the 24 hour race at VIR
last August (our inaugural run), and raced at RA as well.
At VIR, the car performed flawlessly; it didn’t even burn a half
quart of oil in 24 hours of continuous racing! At Road Atlanta,
a pinhole leak in a hose led to overheating during a yellow flag
segment and ended up toasting our head gasket.
Our crew chief, Todd Massagee, who’s mechanic shop we will
be advertising in Footnotes, was able to orchestrate a head gasket change that only took one hour
of actual labor! It was an amazing thing to watch, like a trauma team descending on a surgical patient in the OR.
We will be back up at VIR for the race on the South Course in March, and hope to do the August
24 hour Full course race and perhaps the Chumpionship race on the North Course in December.

Notes from the road
Breaking Up Ain’t Hard To Do
If there’s one fundamental principle that the
serious amateur wrench twirler must live by, it’s
this: To REALLY find out what makes something
tick, ya gotta take it apart. In my not-so-humble
opinion, this dictum ought to be right up there
with the gear head’s equivalent of the Ten Commandments. Of course, that’s only the first clause.
The second clause reads: Thou shall also put it
back together again – with no leftover parts. Otherwise, it turns into an autopsy, which is definitely
not the point of the exercise. But I’ll have more on
that later on.
Okay, I know none of this is any great revelation for you seasoned DIY mechanics out there.
You’ve had plenty of time, probably years, to
internalize this bit of wisdom along with other
nuggets – occasionally from bitter experience, I
suspect. (You could say I was lucky; it’s something
I learned a very long time ago, when I was playing
with windup toy cars, not real ones. It minimized
the risks.) So, in your case, I’ll understand if you
choose to skip this article and go on to something
more inspiring, like the classifieds. On the other
hand, you may want to read on. If nothing else, it
may prompt you to write our editor or Yours Truly,
praising me for my experience – or lambasting me
for spreading misinformation. If you do the latter,
please be gentle. After all, we are all on the same
side. But I’ve digressed.
Getting back to my main point, it’s a fact of
life that every year brings a new crop of BMW fanatics who just can’t resist delving into their cars’
innards. Clearly, there’s a dire need – nay, our
duty for us veteran gear heads to share our knowledge with these new recruits to our ways of doing
things – i.e. grappling with the inner workings of
internal combustion machinery and its appendages. In fact, I can think of at least three good rea2 TARHEEL CHAPTER FOOTNOTES
sons why knowing how to take something apart in
an orderly and careful manner – a process I like to
call ‘deconstruction’ – is a highly useful skill for
aspiring automotive surgeons.
Reason 1: Knowledge is power. Once you
know how something is put together, you’re far
better equipped to diagnose a problem if and
when it occurs. And whether you do the repairs
yourself or hand the job to a pro, the insight
you’ve gained will mean less hunting for solutions, which speeds the repair process and thus
cuts down the cost in time and money.
Reason 2: Deconstruction is a vital supplement to book learning. It’s not that manuals aren’t
helpful; in fact they are essential for a beginner
and an excellent resource later on, especially if
you’re attacking something you haven’t dealt with
before. But neither OEM manuals (which may
not be available) nor the aftermarket kind, such
as the Haynes and Bentley books are necessarily
detailed enough. All too often, they instruct you
to ‘remove the frammistan’ without telling you
exactly how to do it – e.g. what types of fasteners
must be removed; where they are located; and so
forth. Also, what Jenny Morgan says in her ROUNDEL column is true: In many ways, BMW’s quality
of assembly has improved over the years, but at
the cost of serviceability; i.e. the later the model
is, the harder it is to access and work on many
components. That’s where becoming good at deconstruction helps to bridge the information gap.
Reason 3: It mitigates the effects of Murphy’s
Law. An orderly approach reveals anomalies manuals won’t help you with. Obviously this mainly
applies to pre-owned cars. If you’re working on
one of those – and especially if you play with classics like I do – there’s bound to be stuff that’s not
in the books. Any older BMW is likely to incorpohttp://www.tarheelbmwcca.org
rate modifications, ranging from small stuff like
non-OEM fasteners to major mods like engine or
transmission swaps. What’s more, while some of
these revisions may have been done professionally, others may be total kludge. While working on
my ’80 E12 with almost 260K miles on the clock,
I’ve encountered all sorts of modifications, some
clever but others weird or useless, if not just plain
bad. There were non-OEM hoses; rerouted wiring,
some of it for a non-existent alarm system; an extra switch for running the radiator fan; a badly-fitted radiator from who-knows-where; and so forth.
As a result, my Haynes was only good as a point
of reference for what was different or wasn’t there
at all. What did help was having an orderly plan of
attack, which is what deconstruction is all about.
This longwinded preamble may leave you
with the impression that I’m talking about all
sorts of arcane tricks of the trade. It’s actually
quite simple. Basically, you want to follow some
common-sense steps in removing and perhaps
disassembling any component of your BMW, be
it mechanical, electrical, electronic or ‘soft’ trim.
The Editor’s Desk...
Is it just me, or does the new car selection
available these days––and for the past several
years for that matter––seem a bit bland. A bit of
an over-generalization maybe, but to my eyes,
most new cars seem to be cut from the same
least-common-denominator cloth.
This subject has come up several times recently during the inevitable car-talk BS sessions
with the buds. It usually starts out “okay, for under
$75k, what cars do you lust after in the new car
market?" And, I must say, I am at a loss to pick
even one. Sure, there are plenty of nice cars out
there, but none that really lust after.
I remember when I was young––even before
driving age––I could rattle off a list of then new
cars I would have loved to own––and some on
that list now own and love. Is it just that when you
get older you lose the passion, or are just harder
to impress? Maybe, but I can honestly say that I
would sooner buy and drive a really nice e30 than
almost anything offered today.
What do you think, let’s hear from you on this.

Doing so prevents mistakes; keeps things organized; and – as mentioned above – is key to putting everything back together again, without any
leftovers on the workbench.
Step One is Preparation. Survey the job at
hand; read your manual if need be. Can it be done
on level ground or does the car need to be raised?
Check what fasteners are involved, then decide
what tools you’ll need, including a good light
source if you’ll be working in or under the car.
Step Two is Orderly Disassembly. To keep
track of the process, I make notes of everything
I do, sort of like surgeons and bomb disposal
experts do (except they record it on tape). I do
this regardless of how simple or complex the job
is. Screws may be of different lengths and parts
may fit only one way, so trust me; it’ll save a lot
of headaches later. Also, keep parts and fasteners
in the order they were removed. (My mentor Paul
Mele uses plastic bins with numbered compartments.) In some cases, you may replace bolts
or screws in their original locations after removing the part, but be sure to make a note of this.
(Working outdoors as I often do, I keep everything
at hand by laying out my tools and removed parts
on an old coffee table reserved for this purpose.)
A photo record can be useful, but the shots must
be close-ups and should be labeled; otherwise
they’re easily mixed up.
Step Three may involve disassembling a component you’ve removed. Do this on a workbench
or other flat surface, where pieces won’t get lost.
Clean the component and all of its parts. It’s not
only neat but may reveal any defects – say, a corroded electrical connection or a cracked nipple on
a fuel pump – that will determine the part’s fate.
Obviously, if something is bad or broken, you
need to fix it or replace it, as the case may be, so
this may be a stopping point. If so, make sure everything, parts and fasteners, is secure to prevent
it from getting jumbled or mislaid.
Step Four is Reassembly. As Haynes manuals
typically put it, “refitting is a reversal of removal”.
If you’ve followed Steps One through Three you
should have no problems, whether you’re refitting the original component or replacing it with a
new one. As far as fasteners, clamps and so forth
go, you may use the old ones in the former case if
(after cleaning) they’re in good shape; otherwise
use new ones. A new component may come with
new fasteners, seals and so forth, but in case it
doesn’t, be prepared by having the right ones in
hand. Having a supply of metric screws and bolts
beforehand is good practice. (If you’re like Paul
Mele or me, you’ll have bins of such stuff in storage, but that’s just us.)

That’s about all there is to it. Clearly there’s
nothing mysterious or complex about deconstruction and reassembly. It’s all about being orderly
and methodical. Other than that, you have nothing to fear except fear itself. There are however a
couple of caveats I need to mention.
First of all, venturing safely into what is terra
incognita for beginners involves a learning curve.
So start by working on something relatively simple like a coolant pump. (One of our advertisers,
Bavarian AutoSport, features some very good DIY
advice on their website.) Or better yet, help an experienced buddy do the job. As always, hands-on
practice with a mentor makes perfect.
The other caution is: Don’t launch into disassembling something just because it’s there. Your
guiding principle should be ‘If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t
Mess’, especially if you’re dealing with a latermodel BMW. To be perfectly honest, I’m often
tempted to do so. It’s some sort of aberrant mechanic’s gene in me, I guess. But this is the one
instance where my advice is: Do as I say, not as I
do.

CLUB RACING REPORT
BY PAUL HOECKE
Full Schedules Mark New Season
Here we are; it’s February, and if previous
years are any indication, BMW track warriors from
our neck of the woods should be gearing up for
the 2013 season’s first BMW CCA Club Racing
(CR) event. But as it turns out, the operative word
is ‘should’; the reality ain’t necessarily so. At this
point, we would normally expect to see something scheduled at Sebring or Road Atlanta, right?
But no; as we filed this report – having waited
until the last minute – the earliest event listed on
CR’s 2013 calendar was in May! Go figure. Okay,
we’re probably whining for no reason; the CR
schedule will be up – by the time you read this.
But you can see why we’re getting antsy.
Admittedly, what has us just a wee bit concerned is the way Peachtree cancelled the CR
event at Road Atlanta last February. We hope
this didn’t set a precedent. After all, it couldn’t
have been due to the weather because the VDCA
guys made it then. And as we read their schedule,
they all set to show up at the Braselton track this
month.
In fact, both major vintage racing organizations, the VDCA and the SVRA, are already on the
books with their respective plans for this season.
The VDCA’s 2013 schedule is set for the entire
year. Starting this month with that very same
Road Atlanta race, labeled ‘Winter Games’, they
will then stage their annual ‘Wild Hare Run’ at
VIR the weekend of April 12-14. We must assume
this event will also see our CR guys take to the
track in Tarheel’s (as yet unlisted) spring race.
Since this will also feature our annual Club Race
6 TARHEEL CHAPTER FOOTNOTES
Outing, all you racing junkies might as well mark
your calendars now. Five more VDCA events will
follow, at tracks up and down the South Atlantic
seaboard, capped by the VDCA’s traditional finale
at Roebling Road in December. As for the SVRA,
so far their published schedule only runs through
May, with races at Sebring, Rockingham and Road
America. However, we’re sure they’ll eventually
add several events to the second half of their
calendar. We expect to cover the exploits of local
vintage drivers at all of these events with the invaluable help of our roving reporter Skip Bryan.
Moving on to current stuff, we first need to
revise what we wrote last month about BimmerWorld’s appearance at the NASA/USAF 25-hour
race at Thunderhill. Our report said the team’s
attempt to score “fizzled”, which may have implied their extensively modified ex-CTSCC M3
broke. That was not our intention. Fact is, the car
did quite well and so did James Clay’s five-driver
team. Racing in the 13-car ES class, with but one
extended pit stop, they didn’t make it to the podium but they did finish fifth in class and 12th
overall. That’s darn good, considering that only
forty-seven of the seventy starters made it to the
checker. Clay put it in a nutshell when he said:
“With 70 cars jockeying for position on the 3-mile
course, the risk of damage and destruction filters
out all but the most committed entries.”
Clay later revealed his long-term objective in
entering the E92. He described the car as a “showcase for the company’s line of aftermarket performance components,” and hailed the results as
http://www.tarheelbmwcca.org
a successful test of the ‘production V8’ M3 – “an
opportunity to demonstrate how much speed and
consistency can be extracted from an unlimited
approach to the popular BMW model.” In effect,
Clay views the car as a test bed, and expects that
the various components used in modifying the car
will eventually translate to better products for his
customers. In due course, we expect to hear more
from Clay about this venture, and certainly about
the BW team’s renewed 3-car assault on the ST
class in the Grand-Am CTSCC series.
So far, Clay has picked Seth Thomas and
Dan Rogers to drive the #82 car, with the other
ST driver pairings to follow. They will be racing
in an expanded 11-race series, starting with the
kickoff at Daytona, which ran late last month (but
way past our deadline). The series’ track picks are
also slightly different from last year’s. Two tracks,
Homestead and NJMP, are gone; they’ve been replaced by two brand new race courses, the Circuit
of the Americas near Austin, where next month’s
race is to take place; and Kansas Speedway, a
‘roval’ that will host the ST crowd in mid-August.
What’s more, the Road America race, a week before Kansas, will add a new wrinkle; it will be run
jointly with ALMS. So once again Team BimmerWorld faces a few new challenges. We wish them
the best of racer’s luck.
Getting back to CR stuff, the 2012 championship standings should be final, but official
word on that was still MIA as we filed this report.
However, a review of available numbers plus a
peek at our crystal ball confirms our earlier predictions that certain local hot shoes can expect
to see their names on the honor rolls. Our best
guesses are as follows: Dennis Pippy will most
likely be named M3T champ both nationally and
in the South Atlantic Region. Two other drivers
look like they’re good for making Regional Class
Champions – IP racer Roman Lifson, in what turns
out to have been the largest class competing for
points; and Sean McKay (IS), who despite getting
deployed with our military in mid-season accumulated enough points in 2012 to carry his class
in our neck of the woods.
And lest we forget, we saw a lot of other local
racers compete in 2012, including several who we
think deserve honorable mention in this context.
One of them is Phil Antoine (Spec E36). After
all, 2012 was his rookie season, plus he got into
the fray fairly late in the year; yet it still looks to
us like he scored enough points to earn second
place in our Region’s Spec E36 standings. Others
we should name, for having finished last season
well up in our Region’s class standings (despite
having raced in only a few events) include Ray Korman (IS), Mark Litzerman and Mike Hinkley (both
in KP), Shane Gunn (M3T) and Tom Tice (Spec
E36). Our collective caps are off to all of them.
Finally, we need to mention NASA because
that organization’s Eastern Seaboard events have
been popular with a number of local hot shoes
– crossovers from CR such as Jason Crist, who occasionally races in one of the GTS classes; guys
like Al ‘the Rev’ Taylor and Chip Stabler, who of
late have been splitting their track time between
vintage and NASA events; as well as regular NASA
devotees such as the Spec E30 crowd. The latter

group has pretty much found a permanent home
with NASA and has seen a bunch of local drivers
– Carter Hunt, Dave Herrington and Carlton Goldthwaite, to name but a few – compete in recent
years.
As we went to press, both of NASA’s ‘local’
regions had already published their respective
2013 schedules. The Mid-Atlantic Region is set to
run eight races this season, starting with back-toback events at VIR this month and next. In fact, all
of their 2013 races will take place at either VIR or
Summit Point. On the other hand, the Southeast
Region’s schedule is bit longer, with ten events,
and will involve four tracks – CMP, Road Atlanta,
Roebling Road and VIR. Fully half of the races
will take place at Road Atlanta. Three events are
scheduled for CMP, including the region’s season kickoff, labeled ‘Winter Meltdown’ later this
month, plus one each at Savannah and VIR.
All in all, 2013 is shaping up to be a really
busy racing season, with enough of the events

there. What remains to be seen is, how many of

Street Survival ReCap –
October, 2012 Class
As most of you are aware, Street Survival
classes clearly present in invaluable learning experience for new teen driver students. Equally
important, they also present a challenge, learning experience, and opportunities for creativity
for our Core Planning Team and volunteer staff.
We sort of ventured “back to the future” when it
came to our event venue for the class held back
in October, 2012. Up until now, the Triangle Area
hosted their Street Survival classes at the Emergency Services Training Center (ESTC) in Sanford,
which is overseen by Central Carolina Community
College. Based at a decommissioned airport, the
facility offered ample room for event exercises, a
teaching classroom, and allowed for a 60-student
capacity class. Now faced with budget cuts and
other constraints, the ESTC would no longer support our Street Survival class needs.
We then approached the Raleigh Police Dept.
(RPD), who had originally provided our class
venue some six years ago, when Street Survival
was first offered here. They welcomed us back
with open arms, and allowed us to use their driver
training facility for our October class. The main
challenge we were faced with, was the size of the
venue and the class capacity it was able to support. It also meant reduction to the number of
driving exercises we could offer. This is where
our team’s creativity and brainstorming launched
into action, to develop a set of exercise layouts
that would achieve our teaching and student
driving experience objectives. After significant
‘tweaking’ of the course layout design on the setup day, the class was indeed ready with four key
exercises plus one which students could do on
their own. Enrollment was limited to 30 students
10 TARHEEL CHAPTER FOOTNOTES
(1/2 of our enrollment from prior classes).
The class was exceptionally executed with the
help of our dedicated staff, plus some assistance
from the Eastern Wake Fire Dept, who furnished
fire support equipment to keep our skid-pad exercise wet. Students and parents were overly
enamored with the class content and the learning
experiences gained from it.
I also pleased to announce that we were
successful in re-attaining our prior enrollment
objectives, and have since negotiated with the
RPD to provide their venue for two full weekends
in 2013, to host two successive (Sat-Sun) Street
Survival class offerings. Each class with be open
to approximately 30-35 students each of the two
weekend days.
An event of this nature cannot be executed
without the dedication of committed planning
team and volunteer staff. I would like to again
acknowledge our key team members in 2012 who
helped with the planning, logistics, and instruction of our Street Survival classes:
Phil Antoine (Chief Instructor)
Mike Whitney (Chief of Course – Lead design)
Rodney Wright (President, THSCC)
Jeff Lucas (Volunteer Coordinator)
Ron Spencer (classroom instructor)
