2010 Rat Attack photos

April 2, 2010 (Friday).

Location: The Refectory Restaurant, 1618 NE 122nd Ave., Portland, Oregon.

This was our 26th year of PACRAT racing, which got started in 1984. The theme of the evening was "Old Hollywood Glamor", and many people dressed the part. We even gave them the "red carpet" treatment, complete with paparazzi taking photos.

PACRAT Race 2 at Meadows

Feb. 7, 2010 (Sunday). A good race on the Stadium course at Mount Hood Meadows. This was the day of the Super Bowl, so there was no party after the race. All of these photos were contributed by Aaron Anderson.

PACRAT Race #1 at Timberline

Jan. 10, 2010 (Sunday). The day was direr and colder than the Training day the day before, so the snow was a lot harder and icier than the previous day. The race was held on the Pucci main run.

It started off quite sunny.

Dual race courses, as usual.

Valerie Lyons finishes with a big smile!
