In the celebration of their skill and resolute determination, the Portland Historic Races has named “Women in Motorsports” as a featured race of this summer’s 32nd annual event.

The Sunriver Festival of Cars is set to debut this September, and Northwest car enthusiasts should be sure to be there.
During its 12-year history, the Sunriver Exotic Car Show has become a must-do annual event for an increasing number of car enthusiasts. Lately, we’ve averaged 115 cars on display in the Sunriver Village courtyard, and about 170 persons at the banquet. Spectators have crowded the show every year, leading to shoulder-to-shoulder conditions during the middle of the day.
Clearly, the event has outgrown its venue, and it is time to take it to a higher level. Not to mention, the show site is slated for redevelopment and we have to move.
