Portland Vintage Racing Festival – Porsche Corral July 29 and 30 – Sorry – Corral is no longer available
Portland Vintage Racing is scheduled for July 28-30 at Portland International Raceway.
The Porsche corral is no longer available.
Here is what Sport scar Vintage Racing Association SVRA has to say about the plans for this event:
A spectacular gathering of vintage and contemporary race cars will create the Portland Vintage Racing Festival at PIR. The flat yet challenging, 12-turn, 1.967 mile track offers a unique driving opportunity. Whether you’re a driver, entrant in the Hagerty Show and Shine Car show, or fan there is a unique fun racing experience for you.
This event offers three full days of racing for all SVRA race groups. The Portland Vintage Racing Festival embraces the return of Trans-Am to Oregon by hosting the third of four Trans Am West Coast Championship races. In 1975, Portland International hosted the Trans-Am Series, which was won by John Greenwood, driving a Chevrolet Corvette. Greenwood went on to win the 1975 Trans-Am Series Championship.
New to this event is the Mazda Miata Heritage Cup Series. This race will have its own distinct race with the group made up of first generation 1.6-liter spec Miatas of 1990 to 1993 vintage. This new race offers a new “entry point” to vintage racing.
