It's your personal invite! The "Wayland Invitational IV" electric
drag racing EVent is happening again this year at Portland
International Raceway (PIR), July 17th & 18th. Come see what electric
power is all about as NEDRA (National Electric Drag Racing
Association) hosts this EVent. Electric vehicles (EV) from the newest
production cars, to 11 second street rides, to all-out drag 7 second
bikes and rails will be pushing the EV performance envelope for 1/4
mile acceleration prowess.
AUTISM AWARENESS
This year's race has a special purpose as well, as NEDRA helps to
raise funds for a wonderful, bright young boy with autism. Curtis
'Junior' Cottengim needs a service dog to keep him calm and safe, but
at $13,000 it's something this Portland family needs some help with.
An optional fee at the gate plus local business and corporate
sponsorship can help make this dream a reality.
Going green doesn't mean slow, dull, & boring! Join us in cheering on
the world's quickest and most powerful tire shredding pure battery
powered cars, trucks, and motor cycles as they mix it up with the
gassers in two nights of heads up drag racing fun!
