The following is an excerpt of a letter written by Gary Bockman, FOPIR President of the Board

The New Rose Cup Races

We’re very excited to announce that Friends of PIR (FOPIR) is now the promoter and operator of the Rose Cup Races following a hand-off from the Portland Rose Festival Foundation.

The Rose Cup Races has been a premier amateur road racing event in the Pacific Northwest since 1961. However, race entries and spectator interest had declined in recent years. It was time to create a new and improved Rose Cup.

While the Rose Cup Races will remain a Portland Rose Festival Foundation sanctioned event, full operational control has been transferred to FOPIR. The goal is to bring the event back to its traditional glory. We have great ideas about how to rekindle enthusiasm, and we are very motivated to create an exciting new era of Rose Cup Races. We know the success of the Rose Cup Races is very important for both the local motorsports community and Portland International Raceway (PIR).

Your BMW CCA Oregon Chapter is proud and excited to be participating in this year’s new Rose Cup Races. For the past six years we have maintained a BMW corral which is located alongside the front straightaway with other featured car clubs. This year will be no different. Please join us for a show of great BMWs and enjoy a weekend of watching some very exciting road racing.

The lineup of races includes:

• The Rose Cup Race – Big Bore cars
• Spec Racer Ford
• Spec Miata
• Pro3 BMW
• Great American Stockcar Series – GASS
• Vintage
• Small Bore cars

The Pro3 BMW spec racing group is made up of E30 BMWs. These are 325i BMWs produced from 1985-1991. These cars have been race prepared to drive fast and are very competitive. There will be at least 25 E30s in this race. If you have never seen these cars race you will not want to miss it this year. Check the Rose Cup website for the race time schedules as we get closer to the race weekend.

The Car Corral ticket package is $35 and includes admission for two individuals and one car (in the BMW corral).
The car corrals are Saturday and Sunday only, but your tickets also grant admission on Friday.

We hope to see a large group of BMWs to support this legendary race weekend.

See you there.
