Historical Overview

Pan American region's historical overview In 1952 the Southwest Sports Car Club became chartered and incorporated in El Paso, Texas. The SSCC held meetings and events until 1957 when the decision was made to become a region of the SCCA and Pan American Region was born. In 1958 SCCA National road races were held in El Paso's Ascarate Park. National fame was obtained by several members with their road racing conquests while the locals held gymkhanas at nearby shopping center lots. Pan American region hosted the famous Rolling High National Rallies and was the host Region for the 1978 SCCA National Convention. In the early 70s there were 4 affiliated clubs within Pan American region; San Andres Touring Association, Otero Sports Car Club, White Sands Missile Range Club and the host club in El Paso that provided excellent participation and super autocross events. Even though there are no longer any affiliated clubs within our region, we enjoy a close relationship with the Rocky Moutain Division and SCCA's national office.
