Cascade Sports Car Club is hosting 6 Track Day events in 2018 at Portland International Raceway. These track days give you the opportunity to drive on a real racetrack. Whether your car is a daily driver or a fully prepared race car and you’re a first time novice student wanting to become a better driver, or a seasoned race driver looking for some seat time to shake down your car before a race, we’ve got you covered.

New to high performance driving? Great! Did you know that 97% of all accidents on the road are preventable?

You have just taken the first step in becoming a better SAFER driver. Our program begins with a 3 hour “ground school” where you’ll have professional instruction in the dynamics of cars and car control. You’ll learn about contact patch, weight transfer, and all of the physics of a car in motion that keep you in control. If that’s not enough, it’s fun! The next day we’ll meet at the racetrack to put that knowledge to use with our expert staff of in-car instructors. You’ll learn at your own pace and gradually work your way up to more challenging speeds.

Are you interested in taking your driving to the next level and getting your racing license? You’ve come to the right place. We’re a fully sanctioned ICSCC driving school. When you’ve completed our program you’ll be cleared to enter in a novice race category. After you’ve done your mandatory novice races you’ll be fully licensed and on the road to glory!

On a “Chicane Event” the  entire track is used.

On a “Non-Chicane Event” turns 1,2 & 3 are bypassed. In spite of how it appears on the map above, there is track there… What this does is make the front straight longer and faster. Turn 4 becomes the first turn at the end of the front straightaway.

Thanks for checking out our events and we’ll see you at the racetrack!
