Lewis, Carroll win Calabogie racesFor the third time, BMW CCAClub Racing

visited Calabogie Motorsporls Park in Ontario,

but with a new schedule that included racing

all three days.Also, the variable weatherbeing

experienced in the area this year conspired to

throw some uncerlainty into the races.

Attrition seemed to start early on Friday;

even before the race Friday afternoon, many

cars were broken. Among them were four

E30 M3s, including the J-Stock cars of

Richard Checca (engine woes), Suzin Koeiler(various electrical issues), Bob Martin(ECU), and the D-Mod car of Ron Checca(too loud), and Jean Luc Bergeron's D-Mod

E36 M3 (rear wheel bearings). Forlunately,

almost all were running for the race; only

Richard Checca failed to get going.

As the start ofthe race approached, clouds

were building, and it was clear there was rain

around and close to the track. As threaten-

ing as it looked, though, the race would stay

dry. The pace carbrought the field to the flag

at an extremely slow pace, caused by a mis-

communication from the tower. Allan Lewis(C-M E36 325i) was on the pole and got thejump on Mark Marquis (C-M E36 M3) at the

start, with Peter Carroll in another E36 M3

following in third.The three stayed practically nose to tail

for a couple oflaps until Canoll faded back

when he realizedhe was short offuel and

would need to run a conserrrative strategy in

order to finish. In the middle of the race,

Marquis fell back a little, but with lapped

traffic working in his favor, he was able to

make up the space and keep the pressure on

Lewis all the way; in the end, Lewis won by

a mere 0.341 seconds.In another close finish farther back in the

pack, Jason Micare (J-P E36 M3) finished

0.411 seconds behind fellow J-Prepared racer

and class winner JonAdams in his E36 325is.

The race ran caution-free, even though a

couple of cars broke down. Isidore Papa-

dopoulos (C-M E36 325is) had an air-flow

sensor fail, but was able to pull far enough

offthe track. Steve Menz (H-S E36 M3) blew

a radiator hose and pulled his car behind a

gap in the Armco, where he attempted repairs

by hand. Jesse Clarke (J-PE36 M3) broke a

valve lifter and was done for the weekend.

The starting grid for Saturday's race was

determined by another qualifying session.

Marquis started on the pole, with Lewis and

Carroll second and third. That was the order

they ran the first lap-but on the second lap,

a few isolated showers started to hit the pave-

ment. kwis faded back, and Carroll took over

second. Later in the race, the rain got harder,

affecting those racers who did not have wipers

installed. Lewis in particular dropped back

farther as a result, ending in fifth place.

At the front, the damp conditions evened

out the horsepower difference between

Marquis and Carroll, and the lead changed

a couple of times, with Carroll taking over

for good on the second-to-last lap when

Marouis braked too late and went wide in

Mendola, Solomon win at Summit PointLou Mendola ran away from the pack in

the first sprint race at Summit Point, West

Virginia, in July, and it appeared that he

would run away again in the second. But then

the fates intervened, sidelining Mendola with

a broken motor and allowing Bob Solomon,

who had made a charge from the back of the

pack, to take the lead and win the race.

The occasion was the New JerseY

Chapter's annual Tire Rack BMW CCA

combined Club raceldriving school on the

main circuit at Summit Point, run on a week-

end punctuated by deluges that somehow

managed to come when no race cars were

on the track. There were 27 entrants, down

a bit from past years; the economy was no

doubt one contributing factor, but schedul-

ing was an issue as well. The event fell in

the middle of a busy summer, following club

races at BeaveRun and Calabogie and pre-

ceding events at Nelson Ledges and Mont

Tremblant, each drawing from overlapping,

if not identical, pools of racers.Those who came to Summit enjoYed a

weekend of outstanding competition, punc-
