Grassroots racing can carry a message far beyond the paddock.
Paper Trail Racing is an Oregon social enterprise built around a simple idea: use the spectacle, teamwork, and glorious absurdity of endurance racing to create meaningful charitable momentum.
Our first season centers the Alzheimer’s Association. Donations will flow through an official Association campaign rather than through our operating account, keeping the charitable ask clear and direct.
