2009 Portland ChumpCar
by Bob Pengraph on Oct.31, 2009, under Auto Racing, Portland International Raceway
Welcome to ChumpCar’s Inaugural Event in Portland, OR – ChumpCar is the home for $500 race cars and 24 hour endurance road racing. This series is for gear-heads; for people who love driving and driving fast. It’s for grassroots race teams and almost-race-ready cars. ChumpCar is a throw-back to the era when racing was fun and cheap… when Bondo beat carbon-fiber; when a crescent wrench was the most valuable tool in your box; when home-made engineering made everyone sit up and take notice; and when adding a little theme to your car didn’t get you laughed out of the pit. Those were good times… and they’re back.
