USGP 5 - 1of 2 in Portland

Saturday; day one of Portland's two day USGP event.

It was a bitter cold day as I arrived for the 11:15

Masters 45+, Masters 55+ and Junior 17-18 race.

The day's lighting was perfect for photography.

The bright sun and patchy shadows that we've

had most of the year makes things a little tough.

To see more excellent Grand Prix photography go here!

The crowd cheers on in typical Pacific NW style
