Description
The 34th annual Baxter Auto Parts Portland Historic Races features an annual entry list of more than 250 prestigious historic racecars, all of which have been restored to the way they were when they originally raced decades ago.  The cars are divided into groups according to make, age and horsepower, then raced at high speeds to their full potential, delighting enthusiasts just as they did in their heyday.

This year's event will celebrate 100 year of Alfa Romeo, a marque whose enduring presence in auto racing has inspired professional drivers, as well as individuals who have never visited a racetrack. Throughout its rich history, Alfa Romeo models have carried hundreds of champions to victory over the finish line. Ã‚  The event will host a race group comprised solely of Alfa Romeos.
The Portland Historic Races features an open paddock, allowing fans the opportunity to walk right up to the cars, some of which are the most historic and valuable sports and racing cars in the world.  The family friendly event also presents a display of more than 700 collector cars and hot rods, the Fred Meyer Food and Wine Pavilion, a kid zone, an autocross and a vendor midway.
The event is a fundraiser for the Community Transitional School, a Portland-based organization that provides important educational services to children who are homeless or otherwise at risk of school failure.
