Mazda is having a 'Mazda Grand Prix' at PIR in July.

Not too many details yet: http://portlandraceway.com/

Should know more next week.

 

you mean time attack and drag events at PIR

 

idk bout drifting. . . pir said no more drifting. some tool crashed his 2.5rs trying to slide around and apparently totaled it so pir told unnatural no more events. a petition is up though

 

That doesn't make a lot of sense, there must be more to it.

Plenty of people have totaled cars at PIR, and every other racetrack in the country.

 

Here's an invite a number of folks got a couple days ago.
Late notice I know, it just now occurred to me to post this.

--------------------------------------


Hey there people,

I know it's late notice, but this Friday, Jim Jordan - Mazda's Alternative
Marketing Manager, and Dean Case, Mazda Motorsports PR guy, will be speaking
at the Shanghai Noble House from 7-9 PM about the Mazda Grand Prix of
Portland, scheduled for July 25-27.

It's a no-host thing - buy your own dinner and/or drinks and listen to these
guys talk about the Mazda Motorsports ladder program, the July event, and
the future of Mazda Motorsports. This is a GREAT chance to get time with
Mazda people in a small, relaxed setting.

Can you guys put the word out to the Rotary folks in greater Portland and
throughout the Northwest? We hope that RPNW will have a BIG presence at the
July event, which is headlined by the Renesis-powered Star Mazda series and
also includes open drags, open Time Attack, and drifting.

Here's the location for Friday:

Shanghai Noble House Restaurant
5331 SW Macadam Ave # 115
Portland, OR 97239
(503) 227-3136
7-9 PM

The $10 includes your drag race entry fee.

It costs $8.00 per person just to get in and watch the drags on Friday night.

I'm probably forgetting some stuff, but there's a lot going on that weekend.

 

They met with my brother and the UP's formula team.
However it was more of a trick college students to sell tickets for profit deal...

The formula team was hoping it was for sponcership

 

How do we sign up?

Car passes will be sent to car clubs.

This gets you in for $10 person, and lets you park in the car corral.
