The Tire Rack SCCA Time Trials National Tour is an engaging, accessible and inclusive nationwide tour designed to give enthusiasts the chance to push limits on track, to experience cars bound only by budget and imagination and to enjoy off-track social activities featuring food, media, photography and fun. Camping at the track is encouraged, friends and family are welcome and food and drink are available on site.
FAST FACTS
ON-TRACK, drivers will tackle the 1.945-Mile Portland International Raceway and vie for the best single lap during TimeAttack lapping sessions and combine that with a furious no-endurance needed point-to-point TrackSprint event. The best times from each will be combined to determine finishing order and the top three overall and in each class stand on the KONI Podium and take home the trophies.
OFF-TRACK: Those who want to experience the action, excitement and festivities of a Time Trials National Tour are not limited to drivers. Corner Workers, Tech Officials, Timing and Scoring gurus and more are absolutely welcome at the event and at the parties. Helping as a volunteer, worker or officials costs nothing (you even get some goodies) and those interested can register by clicking the link below.

7. Modifications or alterations to electrical services at the track are prohibited.
8. Drivers are requested to minimize urban sprawl and efficiently and considerately use space in the paddock area to allow room for other competitors. Trailers not acting as support vehicles and personal (street legal) cars should be parked away from the paddock area to leave room for competitors and race cars.
E. ALCOHOL and FOOD CONSUMPTION
1. NO PERSONAL ALCOHOL MAY BE BROUGHT INTO PIR. PIR IS A LIQUOR-LICENSED FACILITY. THE OLCC (OREGON LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION) DOES PERFORM INSPECTIONS. THE SCCA CAN LOSE THE ABILITY TO HOLD EVENTS AT PIR FOR ALCOHOL VIOLATIONS.
2. Be advised that no food may be distributed at PIR without prior arrangement with PIR sanctioned concessions. Food may be brought in for personal use only.
F. DAMAGE TO PIR FACILITY AND DEBRIS LEFT BEHIND:
1. Drivers may be held financially responsible for damage to PIR facilities (i.e., guard rail, etc.) due to off-course excursions or other incident.
2. The SCCA is charged for cleanup of the paddock area, drivers and crews are to leave PIR clean. Garbage is to be placed in proper 3. receptacles, and it is imperative that participants leave their paddock areas without clutter (i.e., tires, loose garbage, etc.)
4. Tires are to be removed from PIR by the competitors as there is no provision for their disposal at PIR. No oil barrels are provided at PIR.
5. Hazardous wastes, including oil, solvents, brake clean, brake fluid, antifreeze, etc., must be taken with you when you leave PIR.
G. NOISE REGULATIONS:
Per PIR policy, no race car engines may be turned on before 8:00 AM for starting and 8:30 AM for revving.
1. Oregon State law requires functioning mufflers to be used at PIR.
2. Sound level measurements will be made on all cars as early as possible during the practice sessions.
3. PIR HAS A STRICT SOUND/NOISE POLICY PER CITY OF PORTLAND CODE. Cars exceeding a sound level of 102.99 dbA or cars losing mufflers that result in a noise violation will be shown the Black Flag immediately. Proceed to the Black Flag station near the entrance to the pit lane – this is mandatory. Drivers are given one opportunity to make modifications or repairs to be below the limit. Repairs or alterations made in the pit or paddock areas to lower the sound level must be approved by the Officials before re-entering the track. Sound-control officials must be informed when a car returns to the track so that a new sound level reading may be made quickly. A second violation will mean a car will be removed from the event for the rest of the day.
On a following day, the vehicle in violation must re-tech, show what was done to remedy the violation, pass tech, and be re-checked on course via the sound monitor. If the vehicle fails again, it is disqualified from the entire event.
Failure to follow this procedure or failure to enter the pit area promptly on a Mechanical Black Flag for a sound level violation may result in a disciplinary action (disqualification and/or fine).
