S.T.A.R. Projects Announces 4th Event

Track day to set pace for upcoming race at O.R.P.

S.T.A.R. Projects announces their fourth event at Oregon Raceway Park, Sunday, August 30^th 2009. Bill Murray, event organizer for Star Projects, explained “This event will be a full day of high performance driving practice for senior level drivers. The day will also offer instruction for advanced students, and an opportunity for racers to get a leg up on their competition. Due to the technical nature of this track prior experience will pay off in a big way when the drivers of the International Conference of Sports Car Clubs race here in October”.

The first “Conference” sanctioned auto race for O.R.P is scheduled for the weekend of October 9^th thru October 11^th.The Portland based drivers club Team Continental will be the hosting club for that race, which is also the final round of the 2009 Conference Championship Series. Enthusiasm is running high for competitors from Canada to California who are eager to run what many believe is one of the best “driver tracks” in the nation. Many of the top Northwest drivers seeking “end of the year” championship points will be competing.

The S.T.A.R. Projects track day, set for Sunday, August 30th, will follow the O.R.P. Open House to be held on Saturday. According to the organizers; The S.T.A.R. event has two functions, one is to “stress test” the operating procedures prior to full scale competition and it will also serve as a fund raiser to help supplement the Team Continental equipment fund. A good turnout for both events is expected. Dry camping will be available at the track Saturday night for those that are staying over for Sunday’s event.

Driver registration is open to current and past senior level license holders and graduates of prior S.T.A.R. Projects events. For those that prefer to have a driving coach, or have not held racing credentials, one entire group will be reserved for training. An experienced STAR certified instructor will be assigned to each student.
