SpeedTour honors the glorious past of Portland International Raceway by bringing back to life the sights, smells and sounds that have echoed off this popular track for 62 years. This exciting weekend features large grids and great competition.
Portland International Raceway is a 12-turn, 1.9-mile circuit built on site of the former town of Vanport, which was completely destroyed by a flood in 1948. The land was acquired by the city of Portland in 1960 and the first sports car race was held in conjunction with the 1961 Rose Festival on a circuit composed of some of Vanport’s remaining streets.
