There are two swap meets going on, The PIR and the EXPO.
The Portland international Raceway opens on Thursday and the EXPO opens (to the public) Friday.
There are shuttles between the two (school buses) and towards the afternoon it gets a bit like a journey through Bombay on those buses; Car parts, hand trucks, goats, chickens, all standing room only on the bus.
Bring large and small bills, and good shoes & a light rain jacket.
Tons of good 67-72 stuff, as well as many others. I've seen a radio for a tucker, a Durant Grille, Mechanical fuel injection off of early corvettes, all for sale.
Even if you don't spend more than the admission (under 10 bucks at each place) it is worth it to see the projects and freak show stuff people are trying to unload

I didn't know the Raceway was open Thursday. Thanks. We get into Portland around noon Thursday so I can spend the rest of the day at the raceway while the wife gets the luggage and settles into the Embassy Suites lol.
