2024 North Carolina Autocross Championship

EVERYONE MUST PRE-REGISTER TO GET ON BASE.  MCAS Cherry Point is a restricted-access active Military base. Registration WILL CLOSE Wednesday September 25th at MIDNIGHT for Non-Base Personnel. If you are not pre-registered by then you will not be on the Gate-Access List and you will not be able to participate. NO EXCEPTIONS. Pre-Register or you will not be able to autocross.

Spectators must pre-register using the Spectator Only Status during registration. There is no charge for spectating this is just to collect info to grant base access. 

ALL questions asked by the registration software are MANDATORY, including the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number.  NCR does nothing with all of this information but send it to the Marine Corps for their background checks.

MCAS Cherry Point has upgraded their base access policies.  You MUST HAVE a REAL ID or some other acceptable form of ID (https://www.cherrypoint.marines.mil/Offices/Pass-ID/).  It is up to you to ensure you have proper ID to get on base.  MCAS Cherry Point can and will turn you away if you do not provide proper ID to get on base.  NCR recommends if you have the ability to get a REAL ID to make this process as easy as possible on everyone involved.   

Upon arrival to Cherry Point on Saturday morning, all drivers and passengers will have to present their ID to be checked off of the approved Gate Access List.  All vehicles and trailers are subject to a search upon entry to the base.

When driving on base speed limits are strictly enforced, 35mph limit means 35 mph, as well as no cell phone use.  Please keep in mind that you are a representative of NCR while on base.  We have a great working relationship with Cherry Point and don’t want anything jeopardizing our use of the base.

Directions to Foxtrot Taxiway:  Enter the base using the Main Gate from Fontana Blvd.  Follow Roosevelt Blvd until you pass the end of the big runway (to your right).  Take the next right onto Access Rd.  You'll pass Duffy Rd on your right, about a 1/4 mile farther there will be a driveway into the woods on your right.  That’s the turn onto Foxtrot, it is unmarked other than our “Auto-X” sign, so you have to be looking for it.  If you get to Rifle Range Rd you've gone too far.

Overnight parking on site PERMITTED. We have confirmed that we WILL be allowed to leave car/trailers onsite overnight. Only Cars and/or Trailers will be allowed to be left overnight, anything else will have to be on or in the car/trailer and not left on the taxiway. The Taxiway gate will be locked overnight but this does not secure the site. MCAS Cherry Point nor NCR SCCA assumes any responsibility for lost, stolen or damaged items left overnight.

No camping on site.

Once logged in go to the Online Store and under “Licenses and Waivers” are the Annual Waiver Minor and Annual Waiver Minor Parental Consent. Once BOTH parents and the minor have each filled out the forms please email the registrar (ncraxreg@gmail.com) so we can confirm the waivers are approved and insure there will be no issue the day of the event.

  
  The SCCA wants the minor waivers filled out online but we will have paper copies available at the event. BOTH parents must attend the event to sign the waivers

 

You will not be charged until the event, therefore please sign up and encourage others to do so.  You will not be charged unless you show up and check in to drive. 

 

Event Hotels:

We know getting to Cherry Point is a travel for most people so we have rooms blocked at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites and Hampton Inn. Please contact the registrar for info about getting a room.

Both of the Hotel are within walking distance of the Saturday Night Social location. 

Holiday Inn Express & Suites

103 Branchside Drive

Havelock, NC 28532

 

Hampton Inn

105 Tourist Center Drive

Havelock, NC 28532.

Saturday Night Social will be held at the Havelock Tourist & Event Center (located directly behind the Holiday Inn Express & Suites). Menu to be determined.

The Dinner cost is included with the purchase of a 2 day registration. Those wishing to attend the social that are not 2-day competitors may purchase a dinner ticket at the door or during check out here; $10 per person.

 

Lunch: We should have a concessions vendor on site both days for lunch selling burgers, dogs, chips, and drinks. If for some reason we can't make concessions happen we'll send out a mass email to let everyone know to make alternative plans for lunch since there are not a lot of close food options.
