Kevin York Signs With RTG Ltd. for Portland Enduro Race

10 October - Seattle, Washington Noted Northwest racing driver, Kevin York, has announced plans to compete in this year's 27th Annual Eight Hours of the Cascades sports car endurance race.

Kevin has liaised with Mike Helton's RTG, Ltd. professional racing team for this classic event to be held October 26th at Portland International Raceway, Portland, Oregon.

Kevin, a USAC-winning road race driver from Seattle, will be one of three drivers of the Grand Am Series-prepared BMW M3. Team principal, Mike Helton and team regular, Steve Pfeifer will share the driving duties.

"I really enjoy the true teamwork atmosphere that sports car endurance racing offers," Kevin remarked earlier this week. "It differs greatly from the sprint races that I normally compete in."

Additionally, Kevin's YORK Motorsport has formalized its relationship with leftlane digital (LLD), a Redmond, Washington-based consultancy specializing in website architecture and design.

LLD's principal, Miki Haraguchi, has played an integral role with YORK Motorsport to build and implement its identity and branding program.

To celebrate and announce this relationship, LLD will be represented graphically on the RTG, Ltd. race car in a bold move to present it to a new audience.

The Eight Hours of the Cascades is one of the United States oldest, continuously running sports car endurance races. It is the only one to continue use of the traditional "LeMans" start.

Race day is Saturday, October 26th with the race starting at noon and running into the night to a conclusion at eight p.m.

Spectators are welcome. Tickets for spectator admission are ten dollars at the gate on the day of the event.
