AUTISM AWARENESS - 4 PAWS FOR ABILITY
This year's race has a special purpose as well, as NEDRA helps to raise funds for a wonderful, bright young boy with autism.
Curtis 'Junior'Cottengim needs a service dog to keep him calm and safe, but at $13,000 it's something this Portland family needs some help with. An optional fee at the gate plus local business and corporate sponsorship can help make this dream a reality.
Going green doesn't mean slow, dull, & boring! Join us in cheering on the world's quickest and most powerful tire shredding pure battery powered cars, trucks, and motor cycles as they mix it up with the gassers in two nights of heads up drag racing fun!
