There will be a number of BMWs entered in this year's 8-hour endurance race at Portland Int'l Raceway on Saturday, October 21. Race starts at noon with the traditional Le Mans style start (gun sounds, drivers run across track, jump in cars, belt up, and drive off). There are usually 45-50 race cars entered.
Race runs into the evening with the final driver stint run at night. I know some club members are planning to drive down Saturday AM to catch the 12-Noon start. If you do go down, I suggest parking on the outside of the track and walk over the footbridge to stroll the paddock. Once the race starts, no vehicles can leave the inside of the track. Most of these BMWs will be placed together along pit row. I'm not sure if there is any sort of nominal entry fee or not.
Drivers: Ken Hill, Frank Greif, Walt Conley
Drivers: Mike Olsen, Bob Mearns, Cyril Greenawalt, Steve Schaeffer
Drivers: Lance Richert, Stephanie Richert, David Lightfoot, Bill Spornitz
Drivers: Andrew Newell, Will Diefenbach, Brian Horne
Drivers: Fred Wright, Ted Anthony JR, Greg Miller, Ian Alexander
Drivers: Jeff VanLierop, Erik Brannfors, Toby Basiliko, Peter Jenkin
