PORTLAND, Ore. (July 24, 2008) - Finally, after 10 long weeks, the engines are being fired at Portland International Raceway for Round Three of the SCCA Pro Racing Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup.

PIR will be the center of all things Zoom-Zoom this weekend as the Mazda Grand Prix of Portland rolls into town. The 1.967-mile road course has produced some memorable MX-5 Cup racing in seasons past, which could explain why PIR has been a staple on the schedule since the days of the Miata Cup.
