|
|
Sun, August 3, 9am – 5pm
Portland International Raceway
Volkswagens everywhere: on the drag strip, in the show area and in the swap meet area.
It's the place to be to see or buy or race the best in VW gear.
Swap meet booths are $30, which includes one admission.
Show and Shine entry is $30, and includes one admission.
Drag racing tech card is $35 for Sportsman and Street, $45 for Pro.
Admission: $10
Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sound limit: 103 dBA
Oh and we have a meet up the morning of for the people that want to cruise in a group.
It starts at the Beaverton Fred Meyers near the Starbucks.
We meet up at 6:15 to 6:29.59 and leave there at no later than 6:30AM to head to the track and wait in the lines. This usually gets us into the lanes and not out on the street....
If you are on Facebook we have an event set up here....

This is not a Rose City Volksters event.
We are simply helping to promote it for a better turnout. _________________ "...these cars were preferred by the racers because the strut front suspension results in far superior handling than the regular torsion bar front end..." - Keith Seume. |

Looks like Perfect Weather for the PIR Show..... Better than last weekend in Seattle... all you guys up in Seattle that want a great all in one show with "'Perfect" weather should make the down hill run for PIR...
Great Show, Swap and Drag Races all in one! Come the night before and spend the night at the track.... beat the line...
Confirmed gate will be open earlier this year but a crowd is expected.
so Who's in?

beat the line by cutting it like dozens did last year because the guy directing traffic walked away shortly after the gates opened _________________ '60 15 window walkthrough

Point is.. why not just beat the line all together!. one of the FEW NW shows that you can do it... we need more venues that offer a complete VW show with Show, Swap and Races as well as shows that end at 2-3 PM. |

Almost had to cancel this cameo. My 181 had a catastrophic failure. This comes once a year. 181 is fully functional again. Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and enjoying summer! |

So did ANYONE post pics from this show? I only found 1 (one) pic in the gallery labelled Rose City Bug In 2014.
I admit, I took some pics with my phone but I'm too lazy to upload. Maybe I'll put some on Facebook. _________________ Shawn
