Rosecup Wrap Up
Timing is everything, or at least it was Sunday for Milwaukie's Matt Crandall when he won the 50th edition of the Rose Cup Races at Portland International Raceway. Driving a rocket ship throughout the 45-minute race, Crandall piloted his Ford Mustang to a comfortable win over Portland's Brian Richards. Getting back to the winner's circle was another matter. Crandall ran out of gas on PIR's backstretch, less than 30 seconds after taking the checkered flag. "It was embarrassing," Crandall said, "but cool." Read full story

PSSR Turns 10
2010 finds PIR's longest-running motorcycle track day group, Pacific Super Sport Riders (PSSR), celebrating their 10-year anniversary. Without a doubt, PSSR has initiated more riders to the incredible experience of riding PIR's big, fast, safe track than any other organization in the region.

"We've always attracted a regular contingent of racers and avid track day riders, but from the start, we've put a particular emphasis on catering to riders new to the track environment. We do our best to minimize the anxiety and concerns that riders have towards getting on the track for the first time. We run three a three-group format in order to separate rider skill levels. Newer track riders receive a structured day, including classroom time that not only covers higher-speed riding techniques, but more importantly, how to behave on the track to maintain maximum safety," according to PSSR partner Dan Batz.
PSSR instructor's backgrounds range from national road race champions to seasoned motorcycle safety instructors. Most track riders find the track far safer and more fun than trying to ride aggressively on the street. Many eventually move on to track-specific bikes and gear. Some even opt to take up racing with OMRRA.
"Most, though, begin on their streetbikes with sound street gear and with their bikes and tires in good shape," says Batz. "You'll find husbands and wives attending, as well as parents and their kids. Our low-key approach helps to create a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to all our customers for contributing to our success."

Can I Bring My Car to the Beach's Cruise-in?
Anyone can come obviously, and you should. It's a great show with nearly 1,000 hot rods, customs and classics on display every Wednesday night.
But to get your car on display it needs to be anything Pre-'73, any year Vettes, Vipers, High Performance Exotics & Bikes..... Read Beaches Info
There is a reason behind the rules: When Beaches started the show 15 years ago they did Pre-'73's on Wednesday nights and Vettes, Vipers, High Performance Exotics & Bikes on Thursday nights. When the shows got too big and we got kicked out of the neighborhood we moved to Pearson and consolidated the shows into one night for operations. So, all Thursday night vehicles were grandfathered into the show and it's been that way ever since. They helped us to build the show and it's still growing 15 years later.......

Oregon Trail Rally
Mitsubishis Sweep the Podium
The Dalles, OR (May 16, 2010) -- The NOS Energy Mitsubishi team of Andrew Comrie-Picard and Jeremy Wimpey took a decisive win on the 2010 Oregon Trail Rally, round 4 of the Rally America National Championship. Comrie-Picard held a comfortable lead over the Mitsubishi crew of Bill Bacon and Peter Watt at the start of the final day and managed to increase his advantage by the final stage. Bacon focused more on maintaining his position by staying ahead of the overall Rally America Championship points leader Antoine L'Estage than trying to catch Comrie-Picard.
