ON THE COVER:<br />

CLUB RACE OUTING<br />

The <strong>Club</strong> Race Outing was held on Saturday, April 9 at VIR.<br />

It was a very busy weekend, there were almost no parking spaces<br />

available. The place was alive with vintage cars, formula 2000 cars,<br />

formula Fords and <strong>BMW</strong> racecars. The weather did not cooperate<br />

- it was freezing. We had 40 people at the Outing and another 6<br />

joining in for the Parade laps. We had over 20 cars in the corral but<br />

there was not a lot <strong>of</strong> fun and fellowship around them. Likewise,<br />

there was not much visiting over cold drinks with racers signing<br />

autographs. The weather, however, could not dampen the excitement and enthusiasm <strong>of</strong> the Parade<br />

Laps. Everyone was all smiles as they came <strong>of</strong>f the track, many asking if we were going to do it on<br />

Sunday as well. Thanks to all who helped out in the rain, but a special thanks to April Curtis, Karen<br />

Seymore-Blood, Pam Hinkley, Sam Wood and Shane Dunlevy. We plan to repeat this event next year,<br />

but here’s hoping we have better weather.<br />

It’s pretty much a fact <strong>of</strong> life that modern cars<br />

are loaded with electronic gear. There are black<br />

boxes under the hood, inside the passenger compartment<br />

and who knows where else. They control<br />

or assist in not just fuel delivery, ignition, braking,<br />

traction and other operational functions, but provide<br />

the driver with a host <strong>of</strong> amenities – remote<br />

door locks, climate control, communications,<br />

roadside assistance and what have you. In fact,<br />

they are so much a part <strong>of</strong> our vehicles that we<br />

hardly ever give them a thought.<br />

As an aside to this, there’s a funny – and true<br />

– story illustrating our utter dependence on these<br />

electronic aids in our cars. Some time ago, a<br />

friend <strong>of</strong> mine saw this young lady standing next<br />

to her car. She was distraught, near tears in fact. It<br />

turned out the battery in her key had died and she<br />

had no idea how to unlock the car door. Imagine<br />

how delighted she was when my buddy pointed<br />

out that she could still get in by unlocking the<br />

door the old-fashioned way – i.e. sticking the key<br />

in the little slot on the door and turning it! Okay,<br />

so maybe it’s an extreme case, but it makes my<br />

point.<br />

Even an alien visitor from another planet<br />

couldn’t fail to become aware <strong>of</strong> this in short order.<br />

If nothing else, our TV commercials and magazine<br />

ads would apprise him or her (or it) <strong>of</strong> how<br />

dependent on all this gear our vehicles (and us<br />

chickens) have become. Consider this recent ad<br />

in Scientifi c <strong>America</strong>n, which says the advertised<br />

vehicle – which happens to be a Lincoln MKX –<br />

“can upload your photos, fi nd your music and automatically<br />

download your contacts. It’s not just<br />

luxury. It’s smarter than that.” Or maybe there’s<br />

the commercial for Mercedes-Benz, which touts<br />

the car’s ability to warn the sleepy driver who<br />

PAUL HOECKE Notes from the road<br />

Technology Downsides<br />

is about to drift into another lane, or brake for<br />

a semi that’s come to a sudden stop before the<br />

driver becomes aware <strong>of</strong> this unexpected hazard.<br />

But you knew all that, right? The vast majority<br />

<strong>of</strong> the <strong>BMW</strong>s you and other club members drive<br />

today are that smart. So why am I preaching to<br />

the choir? It’s because, like all good things, all<br />

this technology may have a downside. It’s a yinyang<br />

thing – there’s a dark spot in the light part<br />

for everything.<br />

What fi rst got me thinking along those lines<br />

was a commercial – for a Chevy Cruze, I believe –<br />

which has these two dudes call one <strong>of</strong> the guys’<br />

wife and ask her to demonstrate once more how<br />

the remote start gizmo works. So she goes ahead<br />

and fi res up the car – except she’s miles away,<br />

about to board a plane at the local airport! Naturally,<br />

my fi rst reaction was: Hey, that’s pretty cool!<br />

But then my paranoid self got into the act. What if<br />

someone did this inadvertently while a kid was in<br />

the car? Worse yet, what if some bad guy got hold<br />

<strong>of</strong> the remote? To say that would be a real bummer<br />

would be an understatement.<br />

Getting back to my paranoid self, I’d normally<br />

be loath to raise this issue, mainly for fear <strong>of</strong> being<br />

laughed out <strong>of</strong> the room as a pre-Boomer<br />

Luddite. But as someone once said, even paranoids<br />

have enemies. And as it turns out in this<br />

instance, I’m evidently not alone in harboring<br />

these concerns about the vulnerability <strong>of</strong> our cars’<br />

electronic innards.<br />

According to a story in that same issue <strong>of</strong><br />

Scientifi c <strong>America</strong>n cited earlier (June 2011, p.18),<br />

our cars are indeed likely to fall prey to hacking.<br />

Titled ‘Hack my Ride’, the article’s sub-lead says:<br />

‘Increasingly sophisticated onboard computers<br />

may put cars in danger <strong>of</strong> cyber attacks.’ It<br />

2 TARHEEL CHAPTER FOOTNOTES http://www.tarheelbmwcca.org


then goes on to describe how two researchers, a<br />

computer science pr<strong>of</strong>essor at US San Diego and<br />

another scientist at the U. <strong>of</strong> Washington collaborated<br />

in an experiment to demonstrate this.<br />

Using an unspecifi ed car’s own Bluetooth and cell<br />

phone connections, they inserted malware that<br />

“could have been used to co-opt the car’s computer<br />

system, including its engine.”<br />

As I see it, that’s pretty scary stuff. More importantly,<br />

experts feel this way too. Olaf Henniger,<br />

who does research at the Fraunh<strong>of</strong>er Institute for<br />

Secure Information Technology in Germany, is<br />

quoted in the article as stating that this experiment<br />

“shows the need for security measures in<br />

vehicular onboard networks.” I for one couldn’t<br />

agree more.<br />

The article cautions against panic, pointing<br />

out that this experiment was just that – a trial run<br />

that doesn’t necessarily mean all cars are suddenly<br />

subject to network attacks. But it does raise the<br />

specter <strong>of</strong> “the unending chess match between<br />

hackers and security experts” having “found a new<br />

fi eld <strong>of</strong> play.” And lucky for all <strong>of</strong> us driving our<br />

The Editor’s Desk...<br />

As you can see by our calendar, we have A<br />

LOT <strong>of</strong> events this year (both <strong>Tarheel</strong> <strong>Chapter</strong><br />

sponsored and not). And, there are events to cover<br />

just about any interest, from wine and cheese<br />

to racing.<br />

Since we are always looking for photos and<br />

write-ups, and with no feasible way for Paul or<br />

myself to cover all these events, we would love to<br />

have you cover them for us.<br />

All we usually need are a few photos and a<br />

paragraph describing the event - what, where,<br />

when, etc.<br />

Hearing about these events directly from you,<br />

our members, is very helpful to all <strong>of</strong> us - you<br />

would not believe how, once the word get’s out,<br />

these events grow. (Think Vintage at the Vineyards<br />

- in year one I doubt there were 20 cars. Now they<br />

count them by the hundreds!).<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the biggest benefi ts <strong>of</strong> this <strong>Club</strong> are<br />

the events and the majority <strong>of</strong> our membership<br />

never ventures out to them. Let’s show them<br />

what they are missing! -ed.<br />

ever-so-smart <strong>BMW</strong>s and other makes, at least<br />

some people have been way ahead <strong>of</strong> the game<br />

for some time now in addressing this potential<br />

problem.<br />

That Henniger guy and several coworkers<br />

belong to EVITA, a group started in 2008 by <strong>BMW</strong><br />

AG, Fujitsu and others for the purpose <strong>of</strong> developing<br />

a ‘security blueprint’ that carmakers can<br />

use to make onboard networks more secure. The<br />

project is expected to wrap up this year and is<br />

expected to yield s<strong>of</strong>tware that will “encrypt or<br />

authenticate data exchanged within the car, with<br />

other cars and with equipment on roadways.”<br />

And other carmakers are also working along<br />

those lines, claiming their cars are already secure<br />

against many threats.<br />

GM says their mobile app (presumably the<br />

one referred to in that commercial I’ve cited)<br />

never connects directly to their cars but instead<br />

works through OnStar, which requires authentication.<br />

And Ford has fi rewalled its SYNC system<br />

against attacks and has kept its phone and fun<br />

parts separate from vehicle control functions,<br />

which gives me a little peace <strong>of</strong> mind, seeing as<br />

how one <strong>of</strong> my cars is a Fusion. But I still can’t rid<br />

myself <strong>of</strong> creepy thoughts about someone wheedling<br />

their way into the brains <strong>of</strong> my rides without<br />

my knowing it. If nothing else, I’ve picked up<br />

plenty <strong>of</strong> talk on this subject on the Net.<br />

One such red fl ag has to do with that ever so<br />

convenient remote lock-unlock car key feature.<br />

As the story goes, someone parked near your car<br />

could use a remote reading device to detect the<br />

signal that locks your car and thus be able to get<br />

in after you’ve toddled <strong>of</strong>f to the mall, with you<br />

never the wiser – until you return and fi nd your<br />

goodies gone – if not the car too.<br />

Okay, so maybe that could be urban legend.<br />

I can’t count the times I’ve been warned about<br />

believing all the stuff you fi nd on the Net. But<br />

having read the article I’ve just cited, I can’t be<br />

blamed for wondering. And maybe you should be<br />

wondering too.<br />

<strong>Tarheel</strong> <strong>Chapter</strong>


CLUB RACING REPORT<br />

BY PAUL HOECKE<br />

It isn’t <strong>of</strong>ten that we get to watch two big<br />

events at VIR back-to-back. But that’s what happened<br />

this spring. Having seen our homegrown<br />

track warriors battle with visitors and one another<br />

– not to mention the weather – on our home track<br />

in April, we were fortunate enough to return there<br />

in May, to cover the pros in Round Four <strong>of</strong> both<br />

the Rolex Sports <strong>Car</strong> Series and the Continental<br />

Tire Sports <strong>Car</strong> Challenge.<br />

It was an interesting experience, to say the<br />

least. The races were a real treat, not only because<br />

we don’t all that <strong>of</strong>ten see the pros compete<br />

in our neck <strong>of</strong> the woods, but also because<br />

we got to watch the BimmerWorld guys in action,<br />

live and in color as it were. What’s more, it allowed<br />

us to draw some interesting comparisons<br />

between the whole pro racing scene – the level <strong>of</strong><br />

technical expertise; the general atmosphere and<br />

inevitable hoopla; and the racing itself – and the<br />

way our ‘amateurs’ (read: <strong>Club</strong> racers) do it. It was<br />

enlightening and, in some ways, surprising too.<br />

We won’t go into detail about the Rolex race,<br />

other than to say that this big-bucks series lived<br />

up to expectations. It included only three <strong>BMW</strong>s<br />

– the Ganassi Team and Aim Autosport <strong>BMW</strong>/Rileys<br />

in the Daytona Prototype (DP) class and the<br />

lone Turner M3 that ran in the GT class. But they<br />

acquitted themselves well, especially the Ganassi<br />

and Turner teams, despite a rainstorm that made<br />

much <strong>of</strong> that race a water sport spectacle <strong>of</strong> sorts.<br />

If you were one <strong>of</strong> the many club members who<br />

packed the <strong>Tarheel</strong> Corral at the track, you know<br />

what we’re talking about. If not, you’ll get to read<br />

the whole story in the ROUNDEL one <strong>of</strong> these<br />

Twice is Nice<br />

days.<br />

We feel the Continental Tire (CTSCC) race<br />

deserves more attention in this context. For one<br />

thing, the cars in this series’ classes – Grand<br />

Sport (GS) and Street Tuner (ST) – are a lot closer<br />

to what us mere mortals drive (relatively speaking<br />

<strong>of</strong> course) than those high-testosterone beasts<br />

in the Rolex group. Plus this race included a lot<br />

more <strong>BMW</strong>s in both classes – ten in GS and eight,<br />

plus four MINIs, in ST. And mainly, BimmerWorld<br />

(BW) had two E92 V8s in GS and two E90 328i’s in<br />

ST. ‘Nuff said.<br />

The CTSCC fi eld was pretty big, even by VIR<br />

standards: sixty-one cars, ranging from VW GTIs,<br />

Civics and Mazdas all the way to Boxsters, Camaros<br />

and Mustangs. A series <strong>of</strong> mishaps, either mechanical<br />

or <strong>of</strong>f-course during practice and qualifying<br />

kept spectators entertained on Friday. Some<br />

<strong>of</strong> those incidents were almost funny – speaking<br />

from an onlooker’s standpoint, not the drivers’ <strong>of</strong><br />

course. In one case, a car spun in NASCAR, did<br />

a 360 and ended up backwards into the tire wall<br />

– whereupon the next car also slid <strong>of</strong>f the track,<br />

trundled through the grass and – get this – poked<br />

its nose directly into the other car’s front! The<br />

guy couldn’t have aimed better if he’d wanted to!<br />

Fortunately, the entire event happened in slowmotion,<br />

sort <strong>of</strong>, so neither driver nor the cars suffered<br />

real damage (except to egos maybe). And by<br />

the way, neither car was a <strong>BMW</strong>.<br />

Despite all this minor mayhem, things apparently<br />

got fi xed pretty quickly, as everybody<br />

showed up for the race Saturday. Thankfully, the<br />

weather stayed dry. When the green fl ag fl ew<br />

good start. The two BW V8s in GS had qualifi ed<br />

near the front – James Clay (No.79) third and Bob<br />

Michaelian (No.78) ninth – but Clay immediately<br />

charged ahead and was running second by the<br />

time the fi eld rounded Turn 1. He ran very well for<br />

about the fi rst hour <strong>of</strong> the 2.5-hour race, sometimes<br />

in the third spot, then back to second. But<br />

then damage to his front suspension, apparently<br />

due to contact with another car, forced him to pit<br />

early. Despite frantic attempts by the crew, the<br />

damage couldn’t be fi xed and No.79 was forced to<br />

go behind the wall and out <strong>of</strong> the race.<br />

This left Michaelian and co-driver Ken Wilden<br />

with the job <strong>of</strong> carrying the BW banner for the rest<br />

<strong>of</strong> the GS race. They did pretty well too, running<br />

as high as fi fth during the fi rst half <strong>of</strong> the race. But<br />

cautions – fi ve yellows in total that ate up some<br />

27 <strong>of</strong> the 56 laps in the race – slowed the fi eld’s<br />

pace at critical times, negating much <strong>of</strong> their pit/<br />

fueling strategy. But they still fi nished in tenth<br />

place – a small yet signifi cant improvement over<br />

their showing at Barber.<br />

Behind the GS crowd, the 36-car ST fi eld<br />

proved a much tougher environment for BW’s two<br />

entries – the No.81 328i <strong>of</strong> John Capestro-Dubets<br />

(aka JCD) and Greg Liefooghe, who started 15th;<br />

and the No.80 driven by Dave White and Bill<br />

Heumann, the latter having qualifi ed 25th. Starting<br />

that far back was only part <strong>of</strong> their problem;<br />

both actually moved up a bunch <strong>of</strong> spots during<br />

the fi rst ninety minutes or so, with No.81 running<br />

with the GS cars in 22nd overall at one point.<br />

But their efforts to hold onto their best positions<br />

were hampered by those same cautions. Most <strong>of</strong><br />

those were caused by ST wrecks, starting with a<br />

Civic that blew its motor on Lap 13, and followed<br />

by the ST pole-sitter fl ipping and rolling over his<br />

Porsche Boxster at Oak Tree. As a result <strong>of</strong> all this<br />

mess, the Heumann/White team ended up taking<br />

the checker in 14th place in ST, ten places up from<br />

where they had started. JCD/Liefooghe fi nished<br />

three spots behind them. And both fi nishes were<br />

better than those at Barber.<br />

All things considered, Clay felt greatly encouraged<br />

by these results. He especially cited the<br />

strong showing <strong>of</strong> the team’s GS entries. “After an<br />

intense beginning to the year, where we started<br />

from scratch with brand-new cars, we’re happy to<br />

see how competitive our GS cars have become.”<br />

We agree, considering the kind <strong>of</strong> battle it had<br />

been, as evidenced by the dents and tire marks we<br />

saw on both ST cars after the race. Steve Bassen<br />

(who does BW’s bodywork) shook his head as he<br />

inspected the damage, for he knew that he’d have<br />

just one week to fi x it all before the team would<br />

head to Round Five at Lime Rock on Memorial<br />

Day weekend, followed by Round Six at Watkins<br />

Glen a week later.<br />

Due to deadlines, the Lime Rock race was<br />

still in our future as we fi led this report. It’s likely<br />

to have been quite different from the VIR event<br />

because that venerable Connecticut circuit is a lot<br />

shorter – 1.7 miles with only seven turns – with<br />

GS lap times <strong>of</strong> under a minute the rule. As a<br />

result, it’s the only CTSCC event in which the GS<br />

and ST cars run in separate races; and car setup<br />

as well as pit strategy must be adjusted accordingly.<br />

As usual, we expect to cover this race and<br />

the one at the Glen in future reports.<br />

As we look back on this VIR experience, two<br />

comparisons with <strong>Club</strong> Racing come to mind. One<br />

is that, from a bystander’s standpoint, pro races<br />

are a veritable zoo, even at a park-like, peoplefriendly<br />

facility like VIR. It’s to be expected, what<br />

with all the promotional hoopla and the legions<br />

<strong>of</strong> spectators jamming every aisle, roadway and<br />

hillside. But the contrast with the laid-back atmosphere<br />

<strong>of</strong> a <strong>Club</strong> Racing event is quite striking,<br />

even when there’s a large crowd <strong>of</strong> club members<br />

watching a race. The other aspect is something<br />

<strong>of</strong> a pleasant surprise: Checking the CTSCC race<br />

stats, we fi nd that even the fastest qualifi ers<br />

barely matched some <strong>of</strong> the best speeds we’ve<br />

seen posted at <strong>Club</strong> races. If nothing else, it kinda<br />

proves that you’re not missing much if you’re<br />

strictly a <strong>Club</strong> Racing fan.<br />

As far as local CR activity goes, we should<br />

note that only a few <strong>of</strong> our hot shoes ventured to<br />

more or less nearby tracks in May. This included<br />

Jason Crist and Roman Lifson, who raced in a<br />

small fi eld <strong>of</strong> a dozen cars at Sebring. They fi rst


paired up in Crist’s JP E36 M3 to win the enduro;<br />

then each drove that car to a class victory in the<br />

weekend’s two sprint races. Both drivers were also<br />

entered in the much bigger race (53 entrants) at<br />

Mid-Ohio, where Lifson was to drive his own IP<br />

E36 M3. That race ran after press time for this report,<br />

so that story will have to wait until our next<br />

issue. The same goes for last month’s CR event at<br />

NJMP, which at last report listed some thirty entries<br />

but only one <strong>Tarheel</strong> – Dennis Pippy in M3T.<br />

Local drivers were similarly absent from the<br />

NASA scene, partly because the Mid-Atlantic<br />

Region did not hold an event in May. The Southeast<br />

Region did run a race at CMP April 30-May<br />

1, but that event saw only two <strong>of</strong> our homegrown<br />

racers take part. Jason Tower mixed it up in a 19car<br />

Spec E30 fi eld, fi nishing in mid-pack in both<br />

sprints; and William Goldfarb posted two victories<br />

in GTS4, including one fi nish in second place<br />

overall.<br />
