“The Baxter Auto Parts Portland Historic Races celebrated 100 years of Alfa Romeo by hosting a race group comprised solely of cars from the Italian marque. Throughout its rich history, Alfa Romeos have carried hundreds of champions over the finish line and the vintage races at Portland International were no exception.

The Portland Historics is as a fundraiser for the Community Transitional School, a Portland-based organization that provides important educational services to children who are homeless or otherwise at risk of school failure.
