OR FD onwers in Portland Area

I never seen any FDs around in Portland/Vancouver area besides a couple guys in RPNW (Matt's silver and Nam's VR).

so who else is around?

Marc has one, but it's in less than driving condition, Son has one but it's only partially together, Randall [of RPNW] has one with no engine.... And that's all the Portland ones I know of ^_^'..

oh cool, yeah PIR has late night drags Friday and Saturday nights, 8 to watch 27 to race plus your 10 dollar year membership. It starts at 6pm and goes until 10pm.

I have heard Woodburn is a better drag strip, but I have never been since pir is right next to me.

you can see all the events on PIR's website:

I see a few very now and again. Mostly in the summer months.
Don't think they are on here. More 8's than anything.

The FD barely makes it out of the garage anymore. When it does, I wouldn't be driving it in town thats for sure.
