Remarkable Road Racing and a Return of the Trans-Ams!
The annual Rose Cup Race, the oldest amateur road-racing event west of the Mississippi River, has been popular with West Coast racing enthusiasts for five decades. The 49th running of the Rose Cup Race features more than 400 amateur drivers in varied classes of racecars. It's one of the featured events of the Sports Car Club of America, a 60,000-member not-for-profit national organization featuring more than 2,000 amateur and professional motor sports events each year. Races like Portland´s prestigious Rose Cup, organized by the Oregon region of the SCCA, represent the grassroots motor sports participation that typifies the club.
This is a weekend full of excitement with plenty of continuous racing action and exhibits that give the whole family a chance to discover the world of motorsports.

Unique to the Rose Cup Races is the Festival Trophy Race, which debuted in 1997 as a companion feature race that rotates between different regional points race groups. The Porsche Club of America holds the Porsche Cup race during Rose Cup weekend as well. Carrera Motors of Bend, Oregon, is presenting sponsor of the Porsche Cup race again this year.
An exciting new feature to the 2009 Rose Cup Race weekend is the return of the SCCA Trans Am Series. Portland is currently the only west coast stop slated for the ground-pounding action. Founded in 1966, the Trans-Am series has produced some of America's finest racing drivers, including Mark Donohue, Tommy Kendall, George Follmer, and Wally Dallenbach. The series raced in Portland 21 times from 1975 through 2005 and served as the Rose Cup race from 1975 through 1983. In 1984, Trans-Am became a regular support race for Portland's annual Champ Car race. The Trans-Am series went on hiatus at the end of the 2006 season, falling victim to a declining car count and crowded pro racing calendar. Plans for the re-launch include title sponsorship by Muscle Milk, a sports performance drink. Trans-Am driver Greg Pickett owns Muscle Milk.
Two popular features from the 2008 Rose Cup Races will return in 2009: Friday Night Drags and the Second Annual Rose Cup Races Cruise-In. Throughout the summer, Friday Night Drag Racing is a staple at PIR - and for Rose Cup weekend we'll expand to two nights, Friday and Saturday. Drag racing will be held after racing & qualifying by Rose Cup race groups on Friday, June 12 and Sautrday, June 13. Due to safety reasons, drag racing will only take place weather-permitting. The Cruise-In will take place Saturday, June 13 from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Entrants can show off their Pre-1973 Hot Rods, Customs or Cool Rides and compete for Prizes and Trophies.
Drivers can visit RoseCup.Com for participant information from the Oregon Region SCCA.
