We’ve had to navigate many twists and turns – those are a lot more fun in our cars! – but we finally got to the point of going live with registration.
Click here to link to (http://www.msreg.com/ofoc2021) and our online registration page. If Motorsport Reg is too awkward to navigate, you can print and mail/fax your registration form from our website (http://oregonfestivalofcars.com/registration.php), or just call Barbara Grayson at (503) 246-8477 and she will get you registered.
Here is the current schedule:
Friday, September 17
• Meet at Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo for coffee and light trip nourishment, then join the group headed to Bend. It will be the usual fun drive, but we aren’t sure yet what lunch arrangements will be possible. Routemaster Brian Cone will think of something.
• Clean your car at the Festival Beer Wash at our host hotel, The Residence Inn, provided by our friends Griot’s Garage and Neil D’Autremont’s Sidedraught City.
• Check in at the Residence Inn.
Saturday, September 18
• Festival Day! The Festival Car Show will once again be held at the Deschutes Historic Museum. It’s the usual Festival atmosphere, with the jazz sounds of our Festival Band, the Dan Balmer Trio. A simple wash and wax will do, no need to get out the Q-Tips.
• Big news – The Festival Banquet is back at our favorite venue, Kendall’s Porsche of Bend (in the former Club Carrera facility). We’ll start with a cocktail hour, move into a delicious catered dinner, and finish with the usual not-ready-for-prime-time presentation. It always surprises!
Sunday, September 19
• Wrap up the weekend with the ever-enjoyable Festival Sunday Dash, a 2-hour-or-so romp through the beautiful Central Oregon woods and countryside, ending with a great lunch at a spot chosen by our Sunday Dash Routemaster, Tim Morris.
Lodging
We have a room block reserved at our host hotel, The Residence Inn, with special Festival room rates. Call them at 541-382-5001 and mention the Oregon Festival of Cars to get great pricing and free parking. Rooms will go quick and the release date is August 1, so don't delay.
COVID
We don’t know what our COVID protocols are going to be, but all indications are that the state will be fully re-opened by September. But whatever the situation may be, we will comply with all state requirements.
Please join us. It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to get out in our cars for a weekend getaway, and many of our favorite car events have been cancelled or dramatically restricted. We are expecting a strong turnout for the best car enthusiast weekend event in the Northwest, so get registered quick!
