The 2026 race season at Portland International Raceway (PIR) will be here before we know it. Volunteers get the best seat in the house for Oregon Region SCCA, Cascade, IndyCar, and other PIR events.
There are many volunteer opportunities available each race weekend, and there is training to teach you everything you need to know:
Flags and Communication: The eyes and ears of the drivers.
Safety and Incident Response: Aid the drivers during an incident on track.
Tech Inspection: Make sure cars and safety gear are track ready.
Pre-Grid: Stage race cars prior to going on track and monitor pit lane.
Crossing guard: Open track crossing gate between race sessions. Communicate with race control via radio.
Sound: Ensure the event is adhering to the noise policy by monitoring sound readings and noting violations.
Timing and Scoring: Keep track of lap times and running order
Registration: Check in and assist drivers for an event
PIR, ORSCCA and Cascade are teaming up once again to host a Volunteer Fair on March 14th from 9-11am where you can learn more about volunteering. Mark your calendars and bring a friend!
