This month's Event commemorates the old 1955 Racing Program that member
Damon Cuccia found on the internet
(cover),
(Page 1),
(Page 2),
(Page 3),
(Page 4). Back
then, SCCA Club Racing was allowed on Belle Chasse, and the names listed in
the book represent the original members of this club (Delta Region was
founded in 1954). While many of the runways used in 1955 have long since
been overrun with vegetation, we've designed this month's course to use
parts of the intersections to incorporate sweepers that would have been on
that old road course. Considering that Delta Region is cohosting an SCCA
sanctioned Club Race (first time in decades) down at NPR later this month,
this course is quite fitting.

Base Entry:
- The Navy graciously lets Delta Region autocross at their base, provided
we follow their rules. Drivers and Spectators are allowed to pass through
the back gate, but must be on the base access list. You can get on the list
if you pre-register for the event online. Spectators and guests can be added
to your entry. If you think you might make it, go ahead and register to be
on the list, just in case. You must be pre-registered by 9:00pm Thursday,
June 2nd.
- Access to the base will be through the rear gate only. Drivers won't be
allowed through the front gate. The rear gate is open from 6:00 am - 9:30
am, 11:00 am -1:00 pm, 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm. You cannot enter or leave the base
during any other time.
- Don't wander around the Base. We're allowed passage too and from the
autocross site. The speed limit at the autocross site is 5mph (except on the
track, of course).
- Vehicles may be subject to search by Soldiers With Guns. Don't argue...
Sometimes they just want to check out your car.
- No firearms are permitted on Base. No, we won't bail you out either.
