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. Chuckster |

Security on military bases has increased steadily since 9/11 and the Iraqi war. I think all military and DOD agencies are in the process of issuing new ID cards that can be scanned and checked against a central data base. Intrance into military facilities has been greatly restricted over the past year. Without the proper ID it takes some time to gain admittance. This will probably not change any time soon. For a long time there was almost free access to most military bases, but I think that is over for now. Unfortunately, I think auto clubs, and other groups, will have to find new venues for their activities.
