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 JeanLuc 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 pacecarbrought 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 the jump 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 strategyin 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 spaceand keep the pressureon Lewis all the way; in the end, Lewis won by a mere 0.341 seconds. In anotherclose finish farther back in the pack, JasonMicare (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'srace was determinedby anotherqualifying session. Marquis startedon the pole, with Lewis and Carroll secondand third. That was the order they ran the first lap-but on the second lap, a few isolatedshowers started to hit the pave- ment. kwis faded back, and Carroll took over second. Later in the race, the rain got harder, affecting thoseracerswho 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 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 1B DNF DNF DNF DNF Class Pos.

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

a radiator hose and pulled his car behind a
gap in the Armco, where he attempted repairs

The starting grid for Saturday's race was
determined by another qualifying session.
