premiered JUNE 4, 2025

The Vancouver and Portland automotive community have been fortunate to have had Beaches Summertime Cruisin for 29 years.  As all things eventually come to an end, so did Beaches. Hot Summer Nights premiered June 4th, 2025 carrying on the tradition of community and charity at Portland International Raceway!
