The event you are talking about is the All British Field Meet. The
usual run of affairs is that on Friday night they have the no-host bar
at a hotel somewhere (Red Lion, I think). Saturday is the concours
event where they litter all of Portland International Raceway's grassy
area with cars of British repute. Sunday is the slalom, gymkhana, swap
meet, and model car competition. I don't have anymore details than this
at the time. I am trying to track them down as I am planning on being
there too.
