If you are looking for an exciting start to your Memorial Day weekend, you might want to bring out your car and do the Lotus Club Track Day. They run an intermediate group, advanced group, and race car group (full open test). The cost is $225.00 and interested people can call Mark Viskov at 503-641-7693. Don't worry if you aren't a club member. You will be welcomed with open arms, get lots of track time and leave with a smile on your face.
Want to go racing but don't have the budget for a racecar? Get close to the action by being a volunteer! We provide on-the-job training in all specialties: Flagging, Emergency, Pre-Grid, Registration, Timing, Tech and several others.
If flagging isn't your bag, there are plenty of "inside jobs" too. Contact the Oregon Region Office, Cascades Sports Car Club or the Oregon Motorcycle . Come on out and join the fun. Good times, good people, exciting racing!
