So after a bit of a break here's the next creation. Now I'm not a fan of american racing, but there's something that I liked for this track. So let's run the info.

Located in Portland, Oregon, the track hosts ICSCC, SCCA and OMRRA road racing as well as NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, Champ Car and other american racing leagues. After being build in 1948, the first race on this circuit dates back to 1961 during the Portland Rose Festival. At that time the track was quite dangerous and under the threat of losing the Rose Cup races and the deteorating asphalt, the track was repaved in the 70's. It wasn't until 1999 that NASCAR Camping World Truck Series ran a race there (the last time being the following year). At the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008 the track was renovated again, featuring a new track asphalt, turns 4 through 7 were widened, and turn 7 was sharpened to slow down the drivers, as well as featuring Formula One style curbs on all the corners.
