Here is a cut and paste with more info.......

PIR is hosting an opening day event with the proceeds going to the Friends of PIR, a non-profit 501c3 established to preserve and enhance the track. The event will be as follows.

GUIDED NATURE WALK & BIRD WATCHING
Come join Environmental Consultant, Colin MacClaren, as he leads you on an environ¬mental and widelife watching tour of the park.


8:00 AM - 9:30 (Free - All Ages / Bicycle Helmets Required)
TRACK WALK
Come walk, ride, skate, your way around the track. Human powered is the name of the game during this time. Racers, neighbors, children, bicycles, dogs, are all wel¬come to take a stroll around the least-walked pavement in Portland.


10:00 AM - NOON ($10 Suggested Cash Donation - Drivers with Legal License)
TOURING LAPS - Presented by Pro Drive Racing School
