Portland International Raceway Bag Policy

So, you're heading to the Portland International Raceway, eh? Well, buckle up (pun intended) because we've got the scoop on the bag policy that'll make your experience a whole lot smoother. From what to bring to what to leave behind, we've got you covered!

Let's get down to business: the Portland International Raceway has a pretty strict bag policy in place, and trust us, you don't want to get caught at the gate with a prohibited item. We're talking no backpacks, no large purses, and no coolers (sorry, folks, no sneaking in your famous seven-layer dip!). But don't worry, we'll break it down for you so you can pack like a pro.

The Lowdown on Bags

So, what can you bring? Small bags and clutches are A-OK, as long as they're 12 inches x 12 inches x 6 inches or smaller. And, fun fact: if you have a medical necessity (like an EpiPen or insulin pump), you can bring a slightly larger bag, but be prepared to show proof at the gate. Yes, it's a bit of a bag-ional headache, but we promise it's worth it for the high-octane action on the track!

Now, we know what you're thinking: what about my snacks? Can I bring my famous trail mix or secret-recipe cookies? The answer is... maybe. You can bring in small, sealed containers of snacks, but don't even think about sneaking in a beverage (unless it's sealed and unopened, of course). And, pro tip: if you have a refillable water bottle, you can bring that in and refill it at the track's water stations.
