I just got this from SOVREN, I also saw the poster for the event last
week, I'll get an electronic copy to put on the website and for your
downloading pleasure. Looks like it features FOT member John James' TR4.

> For 2009 SOVREN will again be presenting the Columbia River Classic
> in Portland on Labor Day weekend- Sept. 5-7. This year we are
> featuring Triumphs and are pleased to be hosting the 2009 Kastner
> Cup. We are determined to give you a high quality racing experience
> with the laid-back atmosphere that has been so popular at this
> event. As in previous years, we will share PIR with the All British
> Field Meet, making the venue a delight for sports car fans. Even
> more exciting news is that we have just learned that there will be
> no drag races at PIR either Friday or Saturday nights so we will
> have the whole paddock to ourselves and a peaceful evening for those
> who are camping at the track. Our popular Saturday night vintage
> party and the track BBQ have been rolled into one extravaganza at
> the track on Sunday night. There are many advantages to this- no
> long wait for that pesky bus or search for a parking space in St.
> Johns, no getting lost driving there, plenty of food for all and
> places to sit while enjoying it. We will have music, good food,
> and, of course, the vintage fashions, so dust off those vintage duds
> and be ready to rock on.
>
> How can you help? First, make sure you plan to enter the race and
> spread the word as you meet other vintage drivers. The deadline for
> the early bird entry fee is postmarked by August 10st so dont
> forget to get your entry in by then. We had 165 entrants last year
> and hope to have as many or more in 2009. If you want to be
> featured in the program we need your entry as soon as possible so
> please send it in earlier than the deadline!!!!! The deadline for
> getting the finished program to the ABFM is August 12th so we need
> to know if you are entering as soon as possible (and I promise I
> wont cash your entry check until September).
>
> Second, consider being a race sponsor. To be able to complete our
> ambitious plans, we need to secure sponsors for each race so
> consider doing so for yourself or your company or with your race
> group. Your name will be listed as a race sponsor in the program and
> mentioned by our announcers several times during the event. Well
> even give you four free passes and an extra parking pass for the
> weekend! All this for just $250. Contact Judy Buckingham at (425)
> 277-3177 or rebjrmd@ix.netcom.com.
