Woody Hair
Friend of the BMW CCA
By Mike Bevels | Photos by Jon Van Woerden
NCC OG, legend, and club advocate, Woody Hair, was recently awarded the
" Friend of the BMW CCA'' award at the 2021 O'Fest. This is the club's
highest national tribute for an individual that, per CCA's website, " demonstrates
outstanding enthusiasm, passion, and dedication to the club, invests
substantial time, talent and energy in the club, and exhibits continual effort to
improve and enhance the club experience. "
Dave Roach, another longtime CCA member and good friend of Woody,
submitted him for this award, which very few individuals have received.
Dave said it best in his speech announcing Woody as the winner:
" Woody got his first BMW, a red 1600, while in Germany in 1967.
He joined BMW CCA several BMWs later, in 1982. Over the last 39 years he
has been continuously active as an HPDE instructor, autocross, O'Fest
attendee, and columnist for der Bayerische, the National Capital Chapter's
magazine. He served as NCC treasurer for five years and was treasurer for
O'Fest in 1996.
But that's not why he's receiving this award. He's receiving this award
because at every gathering of BMW lovers, every event, Woody is always
eager to meet other members and encourage their love of BMWs and their
involvement in the club.
Woody's been a friend and advocate of the BMW CCA for almost 40
years. Today we recognize his dedication with this Friend of the BMW CCA
award. "

I highly suggest reading Woody's piece summarizing his 39 years
(now 40) with the club in the last issue of dB, but as an homage to
Woody's " A Look Back " series in our chapter magazine, let's take a look
back at Woody Hair!
40 Years Ago (1982)
Woody joined the National Capital Chapter, as seen in the New Members
list in the September-October issue of 1982. The following issue he
already contributed an article about his experiences on NCC's Fall Tour.
And that was just the beginning, as Woody's name regularly shows up in
nearly every issue of dB for decades to come, whether in the role of
Treasurer, Club Council Rep, or Editor, or covering, planning, and running
club events such as driving schools, charity rallies, tours, autocrosses,
and more.
36 Years Ago (1986)
Woody started his first " Competition Corner " column in the March-April
issue of dB. As Cory Laws wrote in his Editor's column, " This issue marks
the start of a new column, Competition Corner, by Woody Hair. He has
done a tremendous job in his first attempt, so we expect great things! "
This was a regular column for decades.
