PIR Beaches Cruise In
 

A few of us met up at Portland International Raceway yesterday for the weekly Beaches Cruise In.

GW brought the mobile air conditioned bench-racing/basecamp facilities that spoil you really quick! Thanks GW! My daughter really liked the hangout and based on the discussion on the drive home enjoyed the afternoon.

The little Mustang was definitely the crowd favorite of group it created a lot of attention and conversation.

The paint on this car was striking! The body language says it all regarding the motor.

The motor in this car sounded nasty, quick rever! Ran 118 mph in the 1/8 mile. He said it wasn't hooking up at 60'.

For those poor guys that are uniformed -- BEACHES is a local restaurant that is owned by a local hot rodder... they do this "show" every Wednesday afternoon -- 1/8th mile drag racing -- a band -- food -- booze! -- Bikes - cars. FIVE BUCKS - which goes to charity! They've raised over a million bucks so far!

It's awesome - you can come and go as you please - stay a while - or stay til they close - have dinner (cheap!) - have a beer or a real drink - listen to the band or walk over to the drags (200 feet away)...

There's like no rules -- as long as you just act like a good citizen... park appropriately - act appropriately - and everyone has a great time.

It's Swedish Naval Orange Twist
