Drag racing at Portland International Raceway! Weather looks clear for both nights. I'm taking the RX-7 tonight and the cop car tomorrow night. Gates open at 6, racing until midnight, $25 to race, $8 to watch, as many runs as you can get it. I know it's short notice but it looks like all the other meets died out...

Wow, $25 seems kinda high...its it just test and tune or is there a payout?

Test and Tune, and $25 is the cheapest I've ever seen. Orlando was $40, Seattle is $45, and Mission was $35 plus a border crossing. Haven't been to Bremerton or Woodburn yet, but I know Woodburn is $40.

I've also got the record of 30 passes in one night at PIR. I average 12!

Well yeah, 1/8 mile is half track so you get 1/2 price :P

Prices there have gone up since then :( Orlando was only $20 when I started drag racing 7 years ago.

Yup, as in Florida. Good ole Slip World in Bithlo. I was born and raised in Cocoa. I still visit every other year.
