2011 Rat Attack photos

April 15, 2011 (Friday).

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

This was our 27th year of PACRAT racing, which got started in 1984. The theme of the evening was "Caribbean Island Style", and many people dressed the part, either as pirates or tourists, or dreadlocked Rastafaris.

1st NASTAR Race

Jan. 2, 2011 (Sunday). This was the first ever NASTAR race organized by PACRATs on Mt. Hood, using the new wireless timing system, held at Mt. Hood Meadows, on "Stadium". It was a great success. Approximately 100 people showed up, over half of them PACRAT racers, but also with a considerable number of the general public. The weather was perfect, the snow was good, and everyone had a good time. Olympic skier AJ Kitt was a pacesetter. Unfortunately, he was not the first one in the course (as we had expected), so we don't have video footage of him in the course. But, check out this short 2 minute video taken that day. It is posted on Vimeo at: http://vimeo.com/18452972.

Race results are posted on the NASTAR web site, www.nastar.com. Look for a "resort" named: "PACRAT".

Bib Decorating Party

January 3, 2011 (Monday).

Each year, some of the PACRAT racing teams gather for an annual bib decorating party. The Mt. Hoodlums team decided to try it this year, for the very first time. It was more fun than expected. We started off with some pizza and salad. Then we covered the table with a sheet of platic (to protect it), and brought out our paints, markers, and glitters.

You can be the judge of our efforts! This was also a great way to get to know some of the new members of our team.

Phil, Scott, Valerie, Erin, and Chas.
