The Baja Pig - Part 1, The Big Picture

The drawing is real. Its a 1989 BMW 325is that I converted into a desert racer for the Baja 1000. Turns out its the first production based BMW to run the infamous race and it all started when I was dared by Miller Welders to build a BMW for the Baja 1000... in 15 days... and starting on the floor of SEMA.

My favorite part was that SEMA rejected my credentials a year prior because I wasn’t part of the auto industry! And now my friends and I would become one of a handful of people to actually build a car on the floor of the show. There are so many parts to this story that I’m going to tell it in sections. This article gives you overview or the big picture. Later I’ll dig into how it started at Miller, how I designed it and actually built it, the week at SEMA, the week in San Diego, our shakedown bar hopping adventure in Ensenada, the Race itself and the aftermath.

Back to the overview story.... I accepted the challenge but I knew I was screwed. I had never been to SEMA. I had never seen a desert racer, I had four days on the floor of SEMA and the only real tools I could use were a welder and a plasma cutter, I had never been to Baja, never seen a desert racer and the only thing I knew about the Baja 1000 was what I learned from watching Dust to Glory with my friends in the garage.

There was no room for my Jd Squared Bender(model 3.2) or Mitler Brothers notcher so I brought a hole saw, joint jigger deal and a chop saw. Worse was that I had never seen a trophy truck or desert racer other than on TV. So I had to build the entire thing from pictures on the internet. I had to order every part I needed before leaving Chicago and when I got to Las Vegas I still didn’t know how wide the vehicle would be or even the the wheelbase. I was in trouble. But I have awesome friends and we were about to build a car on the floor of SEMA.

So we loaded an empty E30 shell onto a trailer and a ton of pre-bent tubing and set off for Las Vegas. I think we were the only booth to load a POS E30 chassis on a forklift. I remember the guys bringing Nicki Lauda’s Ferrari freaking out that my chassis might fall off our forklift and crush the iconic car.

And I didn’t fully understand that we could only work on the car from 8am to 5pm and then the show closes. I knew that there was no way to build an entire desert racer from scratch in 36 hours plus do 56 interviews with various journalists. But I knew we had the entire following week plus two days the second week before towing town to the start. So we went out drinking every night and attended all the SEMA parties. No way we were going to fail and miss SEMA too. If our train was going to wreck, at least we would enjoy the ride.

SEMA was easy compared to San Diego. I had no shop out there at the time. Thanks to a Jalopnik post I found a garage to use and made friends that I still hang with every day in San Diego. We also found SRD which might be the best fabrication/ race car building shop that I’ve ever seen. No one does better work that Justin Hermman and his wife Heather. They have won their class numerous times in the Baja 1000 and Heather has won a bunch of races too. They kick ass and so does their business, Strategic Racing Designs(SRD). No way I would have made the race without them.

We finished the night before, or really the morning of tech inspection (as planned) and headed down to Ensenada as the sun began to set. There was something really special about that first tow down into my Baja with my friends. I did sleep a lot but listening to everyone talk about how we just built a desert racer BMW in two weeks was a lot of fun. And Tech was open till 8pm or so and even after running out of gas(we forgot to fill the Baja Pig)we made it with 15 minutes to spare.

Then we ripped the Baja Pig all over Ensenada trying to break things. When I say “all over” I mean we went bar hopping. Vehicles like the Baja Pig are street legal in Ensenada on race weekend. So we went to Santos and crashed a huge party, ate a bunch of steak and got wasted, then to Paris De Noche (yes its a strip club, but they have $1 beers), ate tons of street tacos, went to Hussongs(oldest bar in Baja), my team lost me for an hour, but then found me in a hot tub with a dozen naked women, Cameron(my codriver and good friend) took one for a ride in the Pig (yes she was naked, and yes we have pictures for the part of the story), and when some people we were drinking with found out we were sleeping under the Baja Pig in the street, they gave us these awesome houses to sleep in on a ranch somewhere far from town.

We sort of missed the start because of the those awesome houses and a series of failures on the way home which we fixed in the morning, but we made the race starting ramp but were allowed to start anyway(long story), and ripped for 180 or so miles until the steering rack came lose. Then we realized we had been robbed at some point and our tools were mostly missing so I was forced to swap steering racks using like 3 tools and a rock and tried to continue.

Unfortunately the replacement rack sucked and I had smashed my hand and it was bleeding pretty badly so we headed for the lights of San Felipe in the horizon. We checked into a hotel where we stayed for three nights getting drunk with the hotel manager and a bunch of locals. We borrowed some clothes for the next day because our friends were still hours away and we hung out at the beach and drank beers at Pete’s camp.

One of the nights I foolishly let the manager take the Pig out wasted and we were drifting thru town at 80mph in no time. It drives more like an e30 than you would ever image. And I forgot he used to race when he was younger and could actually drive. I was scared. No windshield, No helmet, 80mph and way too sideways on way too much tequila is a nightmare. We also jumped it over and over again in the hotel parking lot which was more fun than you would ever imagine.

I’m in the process of rebuilding the Baja Pig for next year’s 1000 and already have this cool new steering system rigged up. I need to get the engine running again and do some work on the suspension but it should be a strong little car for this years race. I also took !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! drawing from above and put it on a T Shirt. I kind of forgot to promote it but there are still a few days left if you want a copy of the shirt too. This is a screen capture of the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

I’ve already got the next section written and its titled something like “How I Got Wasted And Raced In the Baja 1000” - Its not about the night in Ensenda, Its about the meeting with Miller Welders...

You know Im just a regular guy that loves cars right? I learned all this from books I read over the years and a guy named Leo Franchi in Glenview that told me this crazy story about his best friend that used to live in a van in his parents driveway and somehow went on to race at LeMans... I bring that up because I was constantly being told these ridiculous motorsport stories so it always seemed possible that my friends and I could enter the largest races on the planet with stuff I could build in my mom’s garage.

As for the building, I guess I was pretty kick ass with a set of Legos as a kid and once someone taught me how to glue steel together at a Napa parts store open house, I bought a welder and started making crazy projects I used to dream about at night. Its mostly a dream big, get off the sofa, play with cars with amazing friends, and see what happens kind of an adventure.

I remember calling my friends to tell them I got us access to SEMA. They were so amped. I was like there’s just one catch.... we have to build a car while were there. And their response was something like:

“Does that mean we can’t go to the parties at night?”

“No it means we build a car on the floor of the show AND go to the parties at night.” There was a long pause and they were like:

“WHAT? Were building something at the show?”

“Yeah, something like that...”

Sweet. (I love that no asked what it was or why, they were just excited to be there)

I realize this car is RWD, and with that in mind - what would you consider to be the hardest part of this build? (I mention the RWD because, to my amateur eyes, IFS 4x4 suspension / driveline would be the hardest to build well)

Don’t let Bill sell you too fully on the “I’m just a regular guy” routine.

I once randomly met Caswell. It was the evening before the 2011 Pike’s Peak hillclimb. He had just parked his BMW racer shiny side down in a ditch alongside one of the faster areas of the newly paved course during a pre-race heat. His experience with the mountain road was one of ludicrous speed. Many parts of it had been dirt and gravel the year before, but were now paved. This meant the new course would support some truly terrifying velocities. I believe part of Bill’s exact description included the phrase:

“Someone’s gonna fucking die up there!”

His team had parked their van at the same campsite I was staying in. One of his buddies was ripping around on one of the most ramshackle little go-karts I’ve ever seen. By then my father, sister and I had fully engaged standing-around-drinking-beer-mode, and thus Caswell ended up wandering over to talk to us.

Bill gave us some insight into what the race was like. We commiserated on the fate of his latest racing Bimmer, and bonded over a shared love of Bavarian steel in general as we’d had an E36 M3 in the family for quite a while by then. Caswell then proceeded to regale us with tales of his Baja adventures, several of which are mentioned in this very article; hot tub packed with naked women very much included. I seem to recall him vividly describing one of said women who’s magnificent breasts were so voluminous that even one of them could not be contained within the confines of both Bill’s hands; and so on.

Having crashed the car and ruined their chances at the race, Bill and his crew absconded to nearby Colorado Springs and beyond to party away their pain in a manner which is spoken of in hushed whispers to this very day.

Bill Caswell is a fucking animal. Don’t ever let him or anyone else convince you otherwise.

Bill Caswell > Jonathan Harper
04/25/2015 at 22:57

We had a sober driver - my co driver in the event. The rest of us took turns riding hammered in the passenger seat as my codriver gave joy rides from bar to bar. should have been more clear. I thought the no drinking and driving goes without saying no matter what the rules or laws are.

04/25/2015 at 23:00

We worked our ass off for two weeks making tech inspection - which in a way was our goal. Anything that happened during the race was simply awesome! So we all went out and had fun and celebrated our success!

Bill Caswell > Methylsulfonylmethane
04/25/2015 at 23:07

OMG! How have you been?!?! I remember that conversation!!! And we were in that campsite for a fellow racer(rallycrosser at the time) birthday. We brought a gallon of tequila and box of margarita mix and got their entire campsite wasted! What a fun evening! The guy in the cart was my codriver from the race and from WRC Mexico 2011, Ron Erickson - really good dude.

And I am a normal guy. Its amazing how much energy one gets from quitting a cubicle and living their dreams!

By the way, I just had that M3 towed home and will be rebuilding it into a monster! It will race again! And the speed of the mountain isn’t really the problem, its the nature of the drivers that are allowed to sign up. Remember that guy that nearly died when his car ejected off the mountain? jeremy something or other? All he had really done up until Pikes was autocross and maybe a track day. Then he we went hot on Pikes Peak. Which is fine...Im a big fan of allowing anyone to compete but it does make it more dangerous.

And thats so funny you remember the hot tub story! Oh the go kart we found in a junk yard that fixed my friends truck while towing to the Olympus rally. Paid $100 and made it run. Amazing it didn't like running at like 10,000 feet. I remember Ron being like its getting way too much fuel. I can fix this... Great catching up after all these years btw!

This is awesome. So awesome. Love reading the write-up. So here’s a question: I (in the future) really want to build something like this. Can weld. Good with Legos. But my question is about the suspension: is that fully custom or did you space/long travel where the old suspension used to fit to the frame?

Joseph Shaul > Bill Caswell
04/28/2015 at 17:50

Thanks (again) for replying to my questions. I’m actually quite keen on building one myself someday - I recently moved to Las Vegas, and while endurance racing isn’t my cup of tea, there’s an awful lot of dirt roads and empty desert to hoon in and this appears to be a significantly superior alternative to somehow making a pickup truck handle.

Bill Caswell > Joseph Shaul
04/30/2015 at 01:04

Desert racing is one of the last great adventures in motorsport. I would argue lemons for guys that are new to wrenching and racing is pretty amazing. And surviving a multi day rally thru day and night and rain and mixed surface is pretty special too - especially when you have no crew like my first year at WRC Mexico. But desert racing is amazing. Take the Baja 1000. How many other places in the world can you launch into the unknown and race for 48 hours over nearly 1000 miles and practically unsupervised?

As for building one, there are much simpler builds that achieve nearly the same results and incredible stock like classes that less expensive builds can compete in! Some of the VW bug classes are the coolest around. They can get expensive but we saw some chill teams running fairly stock bugs go by us when we were swapping steering racks one night.

Bill Caswell > Forester guy
04/30/2015 at 02:15

What bothers you about it? The fact that the wheel isn’t centered in the wheel arch? I built it intentionally that way as the car is like 90” wide and the e30 wheelbase is like 101 inches long. So I stretched the wheelbase at the last minute to help make the car more driveable and the drawing is as accurate recreation of the real vehicle.

Bill Caswell > Clammobile
04/30/2015 at 02:17

That would have been us but its only been driven around the shop the night before the race in 2010. All other times its been on a trailer... and it would be expensive to recreate to this spec. A less aggressive version could probably be fabbed up but it might not hold up to off road punishment so well.

Thats’s awesome! Love weird mods like that! needs a skid plate and steel bumper next!

Bill Caswell > plaerzen
04/30/2015 at 02:21

The steering was really tough for me. Mostly because our engine sits right over the rack and there are so many different ways of installing a steering system an I really didn’t want a saginaw box like a pickup truck and finding a rack was tough. So I left it stock E30 and threw a bunch of spares behind the seat thanks to Autobahn dismantling in El Cajon, CA.

Measuring the Cv angles and measuring the right length for the half shafts was way more complicated that I realized. Justin at SRD took care of the math for me and we ordered them from sway away or Kartek. Otherwise its just steel welded together in a really cool way.

Oh making the stupid Lorance GPS thing work sucks pretty bad. I still dont totally know how it works. and maybe ground plane nonsense on the radio. Ours never worked more than a mile. try rolling into night into the desert knowing you have no more food or really much water and your radios dont work...

04/30/2015 at 02:23

That part of the story is coming next. there are some videos from SEMA that Miller welders put together but its really only the beginning of the build in a lot of ways. The actual build I’ll cover in two parts. SEMA and the San diego week at SRD....

Bill Caswell > Foo2rama
04/30/2015 at 02:25

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I needed to point that out. My codriver and one of the others didn’t drink and they were the one driving us from bar to bar... We all took turns riding in the passenger seat hammered as we did stupid things with the Pig, but the driver was always sober. Its not about the country, or the laws, its about the other people on the street(and sidewalks) and respect for their safety. It goes without saying for me so I forgot to point it out. I should probably edit the story...

When you get to rally, dont forget about Oneil Rally school. They were the ones that finally taught me how to drive and while I do a ton to help them out they now have discount code that gives 5% off if you type CASWELL into the coupon box. I also try to take a group out there every year at a larger discount. But in the meantime find a team to volunteer on and go to a rally with. its so much fun and you’l make lifelong friends Im sure.

specialstage.com is a kind of the rally forum and you could dig around there. Im not that familiar with the california rally teams to be honest. I know Im going to be going to some rallycrosses with travis this summer as that car just got a fresh motor and its nearly done being installed! But its just rallycross... you can also volunteer with the rallies themselves and then meet some teams an take it from there. google southwest rally cup and Denise Mcmahon(sp?) who runs it. rallies desperately need more volunteers and you’ll learn a lot by being involved.

Bill Caswell > Foo2rama
04/30/2015 at 14:56

No, its good point. We did take it from bar to bar and everyone that got in the passenger seat was pretty wasted. It was a ton of fun. And the two drivers stayed sober because it was more fun to rip the Pig around Ensenada the night before the race than it was to drink. I should fix the article. Don't want people to think its cool to drink and drive and bar hop drunk in a car...
