this year its july 18/19/20, the weekend after Morro Bay!

info from last year's listing:

=========
Getting There:

By Air
PDX (Portland International) is a is served by United, Alaska, American, Northwest, America West, Delta and several other airlines. It is sometimes less expensive to fly through Seattle to PDX - so check out the non-direct flights to Portland.

Car Rental
Ganging up on a rental car from PDX for the weekend is probably the best way to go. PDX is a small airport with onsite car rental agencies. Fluitt finished his last race in 2002 and was on a plane within 2 hours.


By Car
From Portland it's a 90 minute drive to Hood River on I-84. From Seattle, WA to Hood River - 4 hours. San Francisco, CA to Hood River - 13 hours.

Lodging
There are many local hotels in Hood River that can accommodate you for $80.00 or less. Also check Hood River Vacation Rentals, Hood River, Oregon for house rentals in the downtown area.

Prater's Motel
1306 Oak Street
Hood River, OR 97031
Phone: 386-3566
