It’s that time of year again! The 32nd annual Portland Historic Races are a Northwest tradition that offers fun for the entire family. This is THE track related event that PDX MINI participates in to the fullest. It’s a truly Portland institution, and this event allows us to have a really great time together!
It is a gathering of vintage and classic racing machinery from the 1950’s through the 1970’s, running wheel to wheel events in specific classes at Portland International Raceway. There’s plenty to do! You can watch the races, or walk through the collector car display area, where more than 700 collector cars and classics will be shown. You can hang out in the MINI corral and chat with the clan. You can even try your hand at the charity autocross.
Official details are all at:

SO WHERE DOES PDX MINI FIT IN?
Virtually all the Sports Car Clubs in Northwest Oregon gather their machinery in separate and adjoining “corrals.” This allows us to display our MINIs, promote our club, share war stories with people with our own motoring interests, and actually drive a speedy parade lap around PIR, both on Saturday and Sunday. As noted above... Again this year the event organizers are staging the Autocross. At $5.00 per run, it’s a great way to raise proceeds for the Children’s Cancer Association. Trophies will be awarded for the top three finishers overall, the fastest club, and the club with the highest donations. Please check the event website for the details.
