The Portland Historic Races 2010 were held July 9-11 at the 12-turn, 1.967 mile Portland International Raceway in Oregon. Produced and sanctioned by HMSA, the 34th annual event featured an entry list of approximately 150 historic race cars.
The Baxter Auto Parts Portland Historic Races celebrated 100 years of Alfa Romeo by hosting a race group comprised solely of cars from the Italian marque.
Throughout its rich history, Alfa Romeos have carried hundreds of champions over the finish line and the vintage races at Portland International were no exception.
With its open paddock, the Portland Historics allowed spectators the opportunity to see race cars up close and interact with the drivers and crew. The event also featured a display of more than 700 collector cars and hot rods, a food and wine pavilion, a kid zone, an autocross and a vendor midway.
The Portland Historics is as a fundraiser for the Community Transitional School, a Portland-based organization that provides important educational services to children who are homeless or otherwise at risk of school failure.
Similar to the 2009 Portland Historic Races, photographer Dennis Gray was at Portland International Raceway to document this year’s racing action. To see more of Dennis’ pictures, visit www.dennisgrayphotographer.com.
