Club events at military facilities, Info please on clubs using a base or ft. Options

[Chuckster]

I am looking for clubs such as SCCA or marque clubs ie. PCA that are using a military base or fort for solo or wheel to wheel events. Our local SCCA and PCA have been using a naval anex air field in Corpus Christi for 13years for both solo and club racing. This came to sudden stop in March '03 when the war with Iraq began. Our hope is that if there are other clubs using a military facility there maybe hope for our club to start again.

If you have any contact info to a club RE or President please let me know.

Our local PCA has a web site Coastalbend PCA. My email address is cunow@ccinternet.net

Just an update on my own 914. No progress as of yet. The car is stored in a gargage I don't have access. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I stored it there to avoid the hurricane that skimmed close to our area.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

I can tell you that most open-to-public events are still being restricted on Army bases. Just getting in requires a civilian to get logged into the access database (and requires current Driver's License, registration and proof of insurance).

The Army has traditionally been happy to extend courtesy to various organization like the Boy Scouts, etc... but that also usually included soldiers to help support/overwatch the operation.

Within the next few weeks, over 80% of soldiers on Fort Riley will be in Iraq. I'm assuming that most military facilities are in similar circumstances.

Best advice I can give is to contact the Public Affairs Office at whatever installation you're interested in using.
