BMW CAR CLUB OF AMERICA NEW JERSEY CHAPTER P.O. BOX 2305 WESTFIELD, NJ 07091-2305

Club Race June 4-5

This year's sixth annual Club Race at Lime Rock Park is shaping up to be possibly the largest race yet held in the country as part of the BMW CCA Club Racing series. This will be held in conjunction with our chapter's two day driver's school on June 4-5 at Lime Rock Park, in Lime Rock, Connecticut, so there will be lots of club people to hang out with. You should plan to come up and watch, even if you're not signed up as a participant. Since there will be a large field of racers, there will be two race groups. On Monday, each group will have sessions for practice and qualifying. Then, each group will have a race, starting around 3 o'clock. Following the day's activities, there will be a party at the track for all racers, drivers school participants, and guests. Tuesday's schedule will give the racers practice sessions in the morning, so they can get in some additional laps, sort out their cars, and make any necessary changes to their setups. After lunch, get a good viewing spot for the featured races. Grid positions are based on finishing places for Monday's races. Each race will be 35 laps, and if previous races are any indication, there will be some great competition to watch. As in previous years, the race will be a charity event, with procedes donated to the Westlake School in Westfield, NJ. The Westlake School has used our donations in the past as scholarship money for summer programs; allowing students who wouldnt normally be able to afford summer programs to attend. A busload of students will watch the race on Tuesday and a lucky few might even get rides around the track after the race. Major race sponsors are Armourfend, DiFeo BMW, Paul Miller BMW and TurnerMotorsport. Other sponsors are JMK BMW, TranSport Racing Services, UUC Motorwerks, VAC Motorsports, Bavarian Autosport, Don Rosen BMW, Motorsport Imports and Rennsport Motor Works. Please support these race sponsors, and let them know you appreciate their support of our club events when using them. If you are interested in Club Racing, contact Ross Karlin, our Chapter Race Chairman. He can give you all the information necessary.

Join Our Egroup

The New Jersey Chapter announces an exciting new way for members to share and receive information about chapter activities. A Yahoo Group named njbmwcca has been created. The Yahoo Groups webpage can be found at: http://groups.yahoo.com. As of press time we had approximately 50 members, with one or two joining every day. Hopefully this can become a major conduit of chapter information for our membership. Early announcements of schedule changes, cancellations, etc will be easy to transmit! Topics so far have included early notification of the Lime Rock cancellation and information about our Drive for the Cure program. You must create a Yahoo account for yourself, but this is free and mostly painless. The webpage above will take you through the process. Once you have created a Yahoo account, request membership in the njbmwcca group. Membership must be approved by the moderator, and will only be open to NJ Chapter members. Chapter membership will be confirmed against the national membership roles. To speed the confirmation process email Dave McIntyre with your membership number and full name after you apply; otherwise he has to email you for this information, delaying the process. Well focus on NJ Chapter topics. Hopefully, this egroup will join the website and the hotline as valuable information conduits for our membership. Please contact David McIntyre with any questions.

Why Does the Darned Car Miss? Part I - The Ignition System Last month, I described the search for my first car. The 1961 TR3A that I found in 1967 looked good but had a persistent misfire in the #3 cylinder. I had read a short pamphlet or two on internal combustion engines, but that was theory. There is no substitute for hands-on experience. The first thing I had to do was buy myself a rudimentary set of tools. Now, tools are a dangerous thing. for your wallet. Luckily, my father owned a hardware store with a reasonable selection of tools. I was able (at cost) to acquire a set of S. K. Wayne combination wrenches, as well as various screwdrivers, pliers, and so forth. The store did not carry ratchets and sockets, but I was able to go to a supplier in Cranford (W. W. Grainger) and get a 3/8 socket set. I still have these tools, although I do not use them much these days as SAE tools are not a good substitute for metric. A small digression: I love tools, and I suffer from tool catalog disease. I am a tool-aholic. The primary symptom is that I cannot pass up an opportunity to turn every page of a tool catalog looking for excuses to buy something. Another symptom is that whenever I am in Sears or Home Depot for any reason, I absolutely have to go through the tool section to see if they have invented anything new or if I can finally justify some new tool I will rarely use. Do I really need a set of stubby combination wrenches or that nifty flare-wrench set? A secondary symptom of tool catalog disease is that I am constantly looking for Snap-On and MAC tool trucks. There is no cure, and I will always be a toolaholic. And I am happy to say that I am not even a recovering tool-aholic. Any excuse for a new tool. I sometimes even take on jobs that I would not otherwise take on so that I can justify the purchase of a new tool. But why do I even have to justify the purchase. Isnt it enough that I want the new tool? The road to madness (and the poor-house) lies this way. And the tools dont have to be small. For example, I have a decent air compressor and air tools. I loved buying the air tools. And I love using them. Freud would have a field day with air tools, vrrrt, vrrt. Still I lust after a serious 220 volt two-stage air compressor. I have specd out work benches, presses, tire changing machines, wheel balancing machines, welders, and, finally that purest expression of a truely demented tool-aholic, a built-in lift. Dont I deserve to be able to stand up under the car while I am changing the motor oil? Surely a person of my stature and advanced age doesnt need to be crawling under the car on my back. Enough about tools (for now). Back to the misfire. The first thing I did was check for a spark at the #3 cylinder. I used a phillips screwdriver for this task. I interpreted the shock I received as evidence that there was a spark. Hard to fool me. Next I replaced the ignition points (requiring feel4 er gauges). You might remember ignition points. After all, 2002s were equipped with these, although many folks replaced them with a breaker-less ignitions. And, of course, I replaced the spark plugs. I still have the nifty Champion gapping tool that I bought. Finally, I set the ignition timing. The latter took a very long time. I had to buy a timing light (still have it), and then I had to learn to use it. Timing light rule #1 is that they do not work well in bright sunlight. Well, maybe this is rule #2. Rule #1 is that you really do not want to hook the light up while the motor is running. A nasty shock will inevitably result as you remove the wire from the #1 spark plug. This was before the days of inductive-pickup timing lights. Once things were hooked up and I had recovered from the shock of violating rule #1, I had to find the timing mark. This was no easy task given the typically grease-covered exterior of the well-maintained English motor. Once the mark was found, I had to learn that you were allowed to rotate the distributor while the motor was running. After all, I had just been shocked hooking up the timing light, so I was keeping my distance. Eventually the timing was set to spec. Needless to say, none of this had even the slightest effect on the misfire. Next month, The Saga of the Cylinder Head.

.Vic Lucariello
In last month's newsletter, Chapter President Hank Farber, in his popular 'Random Firings' column, regaled us with an account of the purchase of his first car, a Triumph. This got me thinking about telling my own first car story. It is kinda appropriate to tell it in June, the month of Father's Day. I guess the story begins when my Dad's 1951 Chevy was damaged in an icy-weather fender bender in December, 1960. Dad had been thinking about a new car, and had been pricing '61 Chevys, He also considered Detroit's new compact cars such as the Chevy Corvair, Plymouth Valiant, Ford Falcon, Pontiac Tempest, and Mercury Comet. Naturally, I was lobbying quite fiercely for a Vette, even though we were a one-car family of four. [Hey, it was Dad's fault. He made the mistake of bringing home the Vette sales brochure.] Anyhow, Dad finally decided on the Comet. He specified the 2-dr. deluxe model, in black like the '51 Chevy, with the optional engine [170 cu.-inch six, 101 HP], a radio, and automatic transmission [!!!]. He selected the Comet because it was a bit larger than the other compacts, especially in the area of rear seat legroom. Also, it fit in the garage [a '61 Chevy wouldn't] and Dad wanted a 6-cylinder. Also, he felt that the full-sized Chevys and Fords were too big and heavy for sixes, and that the compacts handled ['cornered', he said] much better. Another factor was that, at $2200, the deluxe Comet was maybe $300 cheaper than a base-model Chevy Biscayne. The new Comet was delivered to us in March, 1961. It was in the family until two years ago. When it came time a few years later for me to get my license and my own car, I was determined to get a '55-'57 Chevy, preferably a '57, because they were available with the 283 cu.-inch V-8 and a four-speed on the floor! [Plus Paul Abate, a really cool kid down the block had one, a black convertible, and he seemed to have lots of girlfriends.] I was dreaming, of course, as the 283s with a Borg-Warner T-10 were quite rare, and priced way beyond my means. My 'means' was the $100 - $150 range. I remember looking at innumerable '55 - '57 Chevys. One night a buddy and I looked at what seemed to be a gorgeous '55. Blue and white 2-dr., 6-cylinder, three-on-the-tree stick. You know, owned by a little old man who only drove to church and back. The car was parked with its passenger side hard against a hedgerow, and the little old man was adamant that the car was perfect and he had a bunch of folks coming the next day and I had better buy it right then. Problem was, he wouldn't let me drive it, or even move it away from the hedgerow. Turned out that the passenger side had been swiped from bumper to bumper! I finally found a '57 on the back of a used car lot in Irvington, near Olympic Park. Red/white 2-dr., six, t-o-t-t. They said it needed a motor, and was for sale as is, for $125. I listened to the motor and it didn't sound TOO bad, so I convinced myself that it was good enough to get me through to high school graduation, when I would have the Summer to either rebuild the motor or replace it with a 283. Dad hadn't said too much throughout my travails of Chevy hunting, but when I told him about the imminent purchase of a car, with a bad motor, I had not even driven, he wasn't too enthusiastic. He suggested that I at least drive the car prior to plunking down my hard-earned $125. So, I went back to the car lot after school the very next day [This was already costing me as I had to take the day off from the gas station I worked at.], with $125 burning a hole in my pocket. The girl minding the lot claimed that she couldn't find the keys to my '57, and that I would have to call the lot owner that evening. The owner said the car couldn't be driven, as the motor was really shot, and if I wanted the car it would have to be towed. Oh, by the way, the price was still $125. Needless to say, I was absolutely devastated by this. Dad faced this devastating news with equanimity. He suggested that I look for a newer car in better condition, and that the virtually all '55 - '57 Chevys were too costly for their age and condition because of their popularity. Of course, he was telling me something I had been finding out the hard way. Dad said he just happened to have a co-worker at the Post Office who was trading in a Comet like ours. It was a silver 2 dr.1960 model, with only 30,000 miles, t-o-t-t, and the fellow had purchased it new. ['60 and '61 Comets are virtually identical.] Dad happened to have already negotiated the price, $100, and said I could have my Comet as soon as his co-worker's new Mustang was delivered 'in a couple weeks'. He knew I wasn't looking for a Comet, but the car was a known quantity and should provide reliable, economical transportation for my daily commutes to college that Fall. [Imagine telling this to a 17 year-old punk who wanted a '57 Chevy?] Dad suggested I stop by the P.O. and check the car out one day on the way home from school. He said, "Heck, Son, you can always pick up a '57 Chev. when the right one comes along and your financial situation improves." In my vulnerable state, I agreed. After what seemed like a couple years, not weeks, I got home from school on Thursday, 28 April, 1966 and my Mom said, "Your Dad called from work, you are going to get your car tomorrow! Have your money ready when he gets home." We in da big time now! Bright and early on the next day, I literally ran to the post office, and there was my Comet. The odometer indicated 30,829 miles. Dad had already transferred the title and installed my new license plates, so I was ready to go! Of course, I had to first remove the stock air cleaner and install a 'performance' chrome unit, the first of many modifications. Well, that was more than 35 years ago, and you know, Dad was right. That old Comet did provide reliable transportation throughout the rest of high school and throughout my undergraduate years. In fact, I still have the car. Except for the Cragar SS wheels and Michelin radials, it still looks as it did in July, 1966, when I brought it home from Earl Scheib's paint emporium sporting a coat of Earl's 'Diamond Black' enamel [Deluxe Job: $49.95]. Internally, however, things differ quite a lot from the original 85 HP, 144 cu.-inch six and t-o-t-t. The engine bay now holds a small-block Ford V-8, 260 cu.-inch, built approximately to Cobra specs. except for the Edelbrock intake manifold, Mallory distributor, and Hooker headers. I'm guessing maybe 250 HP. The trans is a Borg-Warner T10, and the rear is a Ford "8 inch" sporting a limited-slip diff. Disc brakes up front. Thanks, Dad. I still wish to receive copies of your DMV inspection reports. You can either mail a photocopy of your report printout, or simply e-mail the test data. If you choose the latter, please include both the test results and the pass/fail criteria for each pollutant along with your year, transmission type, and mileage. [Include your name, too!] If you know at what mileage your Oxygen sensor was last replaced, include that as well. Please indicate what, if any, modifications have been made to your motor [aftermarket chip, intake, exhaust, etc.] and your exact model numContinued on page 8

The April 29 autocross was as bright and sunny as the April 8 event was wet and miserable. We had 44 eager autocrossers, lots of novices, and everyone seemed to enjoy the challenging course, that had some fast parts as well as closely-defined corners. The next event is June 24 at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft. This is to be a joint event with the E30 M3 SIGfest weekend (a weekend-long picnic, concours and social event held by the BMW CCAs E30 M3 Special Interest Group. This event is by pre-registration, but if you haven't mailed in your registration by June 15, it may not arrive in time. Please call me to see if slots are open, as there may not be sign-up on site if we are full. Our next events after that are July 15 and July 29 at Fort Monmouth. Although these events are open, it would greatly simplify registration if you fill out and bring with you, or send by mail or electronically, a filled out form. Forms may be downloaded off the club website, and the mailing address is also there. - Elihu Savad

Second Canoe Trip Planned P
- Joe Murray Once upon a time a long, long time ago the New Jersey Chapter held it's first ever canoe trip down the Housatonic River in Connecticut. This fabulous trip followed a driving school at Lime Rock Park. Well, guess what? We are about to do it again! This year the chapter will again sponsor a canoe trip down the same river, but this time it will precede the driving school in June. On Sunday, June 3rd, a few lucky couples will be transported from the boat rental store in West Cornwall, CT upriver to begin a 3 hour journey down one of the most scenic rivers in New England. The trip will end at the Housatonic Meadows State Park, approximately 10 miles from the start. The skill level required is low, but first time canoeists will have an exciting time. Those who have had any experience will be pleased to find a good mix of flat water and mild white water. The real excitement is paddling under the covered bridge in West Cornwell, the closest thing to rapids on this section of the river. Canoes hold two people and cost $50 per day. Life vests and paddles are included with the rental, but participants should bring old sneakers or water shoes, sun tan lotion and hat, and possibly a sweat shirt. At the conclusion of the trip a van will pick us up at the Park and return us to the rental store, where the seasoned river runners will have a towel and dry shirt in their car. Since canoes must be reserved in advance, and since there are a limited number available, only the first 12 people who send in their full payment of $50 will have a space on this once (OK, second) in a lifetime trip. In the event of rain, no refunds will be given. However, the trip will be rescheduled to another day, most likely in conjunction with another Lime Rock Drivers School. Send you name, phone number, and a check made payable to BMWCCA/NJ to Joe Murray, PO Box 35, Rockaway, NJ 07866. You will be contacted when your space is confirmed.

Advanced Driving Days at Summit Point P

-Fred Farber

I have been asked to organize the NJ Chapter's first ever advanced drivers days. We are very excited about this new type of event and are currently soliciting applications. The event is being run in conjunction with instructor training on Monday and Tuesday July 23rd and 24th at Summit Point Raceway (note: if you are interested in instructor training, contact Blake Smith at cbsmith@ptd.net). There will be four 1.25 hour lapping sessions for advanced drivers only for a total of five hours of driving per day. The rest of the track time will be devoted to instructor instruction. There will be no instruction available for participants of the advanced driving portion of the event. The cost for the two days is $275 or $150 for a single day. There will be one of Mr. B's famous bbqs on Monday night. Applications are available at the calendar section of the web site (www.njbmwcca.org). You will need to have Adobe Acrobat reader to download the web version. You can request a fax or snail mail version from me (see the contact information below) but please do this only if you REALLY need to. This event is only open to drivers that have a documented history of advanced driving at Summit Point. Applicants' driving histories will be screened by the organizers of the event and their decision will be final. Some of the salient rules for participation include: 1) Drivers only, no passengers allowed. 2) Two drivers may share one car but they will have to pay a second entrance fee. 3) Participants are responsible for teching their own cars, no track side inspection will be provided. A signed and completed tech form is required to receive numbers. This is going to be a great chance to hone your driving skills and have a great time to boot. Come on out. For more information, contact: Fred Farber fred-farber@idexx.com (preferred) 207-781-0972 (eves & weekend) 93 Foreside Rd. / Falmouth, ME 04105
Spring Rallye Leads to Annual Picnic
Father's Day Celebrated in BMW CCA Style
Well folks, spring is fully upon us so summer can't be far behind. The New Jersey Chapter has already hosted one driving school in 2001, attempted to host a second, thwarted only by the fickle New England weather, and generally gotten the driving season off to a proper BMW CCA kind of start. So here's an idea; let's have a road rallye! This year's picnic crowd of Bimmer heads will once YOU'RE INVITED to join us at again enjoy the generosity and hospitality of members The NJ Chapter BMW CCA extraordinaire Dave and Peggy Finch. The Finches have ANNUAL CHAPTER PICNIC previously hosted chapter picnics on their Asbury, NJ farm Following the fabulous and have offered to do so again in '01. For those of you whose New Jersey geography is not absolutely complete, FATHER'S DAY RALLY Asbury in nowhere near any salt water or sandy ocean June 17, 2001 beaches. In fact it's darn near as far from the ocean as you 1:00PM - 5:00PM can get and still be in New Jersey, but what does this have The Finch Farm to do with a road rallye? Well, the picnic just sounded like 74 ButlerRoad the best possible place to end a rallye so that's what we're Asbury, NJ 08802 going to do-rallye to the picnic. Sounds like fun to me! Directions at www.njbmwcca.org The rallymaster for the '01 Spring Fling is long time *BBQ*FUN & GAMES*COOL CARS* member Neil Gambony who, along with his brother Alan, BYOB has promised a slightly different sort of competition. The RSVP by Saturday, June 9, 2001 rally will be a typical gimmick affair with a decidedly different flavor thanks to Neil and Alan's creative scoring structure.
