Portland Raceway Track Day for PDX86ers in August 9th for beginners and up
 

I'd like to get a group of us together to do a track day at Portland International Raceway. It's cheap, a lot of fun, and very safe. If you have never done it before you'll need to do the 'Ground School' which is a classroom session the night before the track day in which you'd join everyone that's already been through the school training. Below is the info on both the beginner ground school and the HPDE (High Performace Drivers Education) track day. If you sign up please post it so I can add you to the list of us that are going. Helmet rentals available--$10

Yes it's on a Friday so request that day off from work. That's why I posted this two months in advance for us to have time to do just that. Also beginners doing the driving class Thursday night make sure you don't work that night either.

For those of you that think you can't race your car because you didn't buy any cool parts... that's a load of crap. Our cars off the dealer showroom are track ready cars so don't worry about it. I've seen old beater cars out there slower than snot. The point is to have a good time. All you really 'need' is to make sure you're car is in good working order with a full gas tank, which shouldn't be too hard considering our cars aren't even a year old yet!

A little synopsis on doing the track day is that depending on how many people register we will get around 4 sessions of around 30 minutes or track time so a person can race their car on the track for 2 hours total for around $200.

Also... beginners that do the Ground School will have an instructor assigned to sit with you in your passenger seat at the track day to coach you when you drive around the track so that's another reason you'll be fine and have tons of fun!

If you have any questions please post them and they will be answered.

I've been looking for something like this! Give me a few days, I will be signing up.

Gimme my car already and I would be there in a heartbeat.

Sign up now since you'll have your car way before the track day. :)

In theory. I am still figuring things out. As it turns out, my 6/20 estimate was a little optimistic. :(

But there is still hope! Mostly.

I'm in... All signed up and ready to go!

I will eventually get around to signing up for this event. Have to see how my summer plans take shape over the next couple of weeks.

I'M SO DOWN!!!!!!!

I'll be signing up soon :)

Sign me up. :)

I'll add you to the list that's coming. Make sure you visit the website and sign up/register.

Lets get more people to sign up. Remind your car that it's a performance sports car by taking it on the track! It's tired of going 25mph in residential zones. Take it to the track so it can hit triple digits! BRZ & FR-S UNITE!

Since we have a few people getting the innovate superchargers, they need to come! Turbo and centrifugal people need to come to. The more force induction there, the more likely us natural people will want to upgrade.

Cascade Sports Car Club has several championship drivers instructing for them. For $210 for a 2 day course with in-car instruction, this is practically free and you should be taking advantage of it! Usually something of this value is over $500 with many other organizations.
