BMW CCA Club Racing is the brainchild of Scott Hughes. Together with his wife, Fran, Scott has built a vibrant programme from very humble beginnings in 1995. It is a single marque race series meaning a BMW always takes the checkered flag. It is also designed around vintage racing rules. That means that contact between cars is heavily discouraged. If you drove it to the event, you are supposed to drive it home in the same condition!

How is this done? In two ways. First, there's the overall philosophy which every racer is repeatedly reminded of. Those looking for more "bang" for the buck are politely but firmly asked to seek another series in which to participate. Here's the essence of that philosophy as stated in the latest rules:

"A competitive driving experience for all BMW CCA enthusiasts, in any/all types of BMW's in a fun, safe, and friendly environment where the primary emphasis is on clean driving and machinery preservation."

Get going!

I will begin with the assumption that you have a BMW car which is already in shape to use at a driving school. You will, nevertheless, want to get a copy of the CR Rules and study them carefully to determine where your car is going to be classed and what modifications, if any, you might wish to perform to make it competitive in class. Modifications may consist of either adding performance pieces or taking them away to confirm to regulations in class. For example, you might want to add a performance chip or replace your oversize wheels and tires with stock sizes. Usually, of course, we think in terms of adding stuff but you may elect to do otherwise if you feel your car is better suited to a lower classification. Remember that you do not have to make ANY performance modifications if you do not wish to spend the time and expense but wish only to participate and not necessarily to compete in class. In other words, as long as you and your car meet safety standards, you can pretty well "run what you brung."
