Cascade Sports Car Club HPDE Track Day & Race Test and Tune at Portland International Raceway

This is a Non-Chicane Event (skips Turns 1, 2, 3)

Our track days give you the opportunity to drive on the full Portland International Raceway course. Whether your car is a daily driver or a fully prepared race car, if you’re a first time track day novice wanting to become a better driver or a seasoned race driver looking for more seat time to shake down your car before a race, we’ve got you covered.

Our ICSCC-approved Driver's Training program includes classroom sessions with professional instruction in the dynamics of car control and high performance driving. You’ll learn about contact patch, weight transfer, and the physics of a car in motion that keep you in control. In between these classroom sessions, you'll put that knowledge to use with our expert staff of in-car instructors. You’ll learn at your own pace and gradually work your way up to more challenging speeds.

Our HPDE Novice and Intermediate groups also double as a "Competition Driving School" for those seeking an ICSCC competition license. 

Special Note About the Driver's Training Program for Race Licensure: You may be expected to participate in several CSCC HPDE track day events, starting with the HPDE Novice group and its ground school content. You will work with various instructors throughout these events, focusing on the feedback they provide and their evaluation of your readiness to apply for a race license. With their approval and that of the Chief Driving Instructor (CDI), you can receive a certificate that permits you to apply for a competition race license. It will take as many HPDE/Driver's Training track days with CSCC as is needed for the CDI and your instructor to completely evaluate your competency for competitive, wheel-to-wheel racing. There is no predetermined number of HPDE/Driver's Training track days you need to complete before getting signed off for competition licensing.

For those interested in simply honing their driving skills our HPDE Advanced run group is a club day environment where the goal is to enjoy a day at the race track driving fast in a controlled environment with friends and other enthusiasts who share your same passion. Prior track experience is mandatory and if you are new to CSCC, a check-ride will likely be required.

We also offer sessions for licensed racers in the Test-and-Tune (TnT) run group.

You must have a physical competition license to show in person at registration to participate in the TnT run group. You will not be allowed to join the TnT run group if you do not have a competition license, even if you are using a fully prepared racecar or participate in a racing series that does not issue competition licenses. The HPDE run groups are the alternative in these situations. 

Read our HPDE Information Packet for event information and FAQ’s. You’ll find answers to many common questions about run groups, how the days are organized and the best place for you to start in one of our fun and informative events.
