One of the missions of World of Speed is to celebrate the rich motorsports heritage of the Pacific Northwest. With that in mind, we set out to recognize great racers and other motorsports figures from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho by creating the Northwest Motorsports Hall of Fame.

Last year, we inducted our inaugural class. The awards dinner honoring the 2018 class will be held at the museum at 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 3. Tickets for the dinner are now available for purchase online. We hope you’ll join us to celebrate these great racers and their lives’ accomplishments.
