North America Celebrates Iconic Car Brand with the 60th Anniversary Mini Race
eTradeWire News/10510237
America's largest annual All British Field Meet (Sept. 6-8) features two days of historic racing, 700 British vehicles on display, plus a Salute to Mini's 60th Anniversary at Portland International Raceway
PORTLAND, Ore. - Feb. 12, 2019 - eTradeWire -- The iconic British-made Mini, one of the world's most successful automobiles, is this year's featured show car marque and race group at Oregon's Portland International Raceway September 6-8, 2019.
The British Motor Corporation produced the world famous Mini from 1959 to 2000 with over 5.4 million sold. BMW then purchased the rights and began production of a new MINI model from 2001 to the present.
The Mini has won numerous awards including "Car of the Century" from Autocar magazine in 1995, "Number One Classic Car of All Time" from Classic & Sports Car magazine in 1996, and "European Car of the Century" in a 1999 worldwide poll. The original Mini placed second for "Global Car of the Century" in the same poll just behind the Model T Ford.
The 60th Anniversary Mini Race is held in conjunction with the Columbia River Classic and is sanctioned by the Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN), a non-profit racing organization dedicated to the restoration, preservation, and competition of pre-war, vintage and historic racing automobiles since 1985.

"Mini's have been racing at PIR since the early 1960s," explained Event Chairman Eric Newland. What better way to celebrate 60 years of the popular Mini than at PIR in conjunction with America's largest All British Field Meet and an expert group of vintage racers in SOVREN?"
The celebration kicks off with the Friday Welcome Party, followed by the Saturday car show, guided walking tours, BBQ, Giant Slalom competition, People's Choice balloting, a live music performance, Arts, Crafts & Photo Contest, Scavenger Hunt for children, Best in Show awards, and a Land Rover Adventure Ride.
