Tire Rack Street Survival - Portland OR

Portland International RacewayMap

At Portland International Raceway in Portland, Tire Rack Street Survival offers practical, hands-on driver training for teens that focuses on car control, smart decision making, quicker reactions, and increased awareness of other drivers. Students practice in their own cars with a coach to explore handling limits and build real-world skills that support safer driving. The day blends classroom learning with extensive seat time. Across roughly two hours split into three classroom sessions, students cover proper seating and hand position, mirror setup, how tire contact patches and weight transfer influence grip, using long-range vision, and overall situational awareness. Common distractions such as music, phones, and carrying multiple passengers are addressed. Most of the day is spent behind the wheel working through scenarios that mirror everyday hazards. Depending on space and conditions, activities can include skid recovery on a wetted surface, quick lane-change maneuvers to avoid obstacles, hard braking with ABS practice, a slalom to feel weight transfer, recovering when two wheels leave the pavement, and maintaining safe following distances. When possible, a semi-truck blind spot demonstration shows how many nearby vehicles disappear from view inside the cab, and an airbag deployment demo reinforces safe hand placement. Parents are encouraged to spend the day with their student. They may sit in on the classroom portions, and instructors are available throughout to answer questions about the exercises. Lunch is provided for students, parents, and volunteers, with additional educational demos during the break. The course fee is $175.

The Teen Table

Cookshop2625 Southeast 26th Avenue

The Teen Table is a relaxed, hands-on cooking experience for teens who want to feel more comfortable in the kitchen, learn to cook for themselves, and spend time with other teens who enjoy good food.

Whether they’re brand new to cooking or already have some experience, we’ll focus on building practical skills and confidence. Rather than following strict recipes, teens will learn how to think like a home cook—how to make decisions, work with what they have, adjust as they go, and turn simple ingredients into food they’re excited to eat.

We’ll also cover meal planning, kitchen organization, time management, using ingredients thoughtfully, making adjustments, and cleaning up. Most importantly, teens will gain the confidence to cook without needing a recipe to tell them exactly what to do.

Every class ends with everyone sitting down together to enjoy what we’ve made—because cooking is more fun when it’s shared, and learning how to feed yourself well is a pretty great skill to have.

The goal is simple: to help teens feel at home in the kitchen, make food they enjoy, and learn how to take care of themselves through cooking.

November Menu:

Herb Roasted Chicken
Seasonal Vegetable Sides

December Menu:

Veggie Chili
Cornbread

What to expect:

Price is per person and includes the class, all ingredients, and dinner.
Each class is hands-on and centered around preparing a meal together. We’ll cook, talk, experiment, ask questions, make mistakes, and figure things out along the way. There’s no pressure to already know what you’re doing or to be a “chef”— just a welcoming space to learn at your own pace.
Some food allergies and intolerances can be accommodated, but please note that we may cook with eggs, dairy, nuts, poultry, beef, pork, and fish. If you’re unsure whether the class will be a good fit for your dietary needs, please inquire before registering.
This series is for kids aged 13-18

About our Instructor:

Chef Leta Merrill is the founder and Pasta Maia, a seasoned culinary instructor, and also a mom of teens. She loves cooking with families and teaching young cooks in a fun, hands-on environment. Inspired by the Cucina Povera philosophy of simple, resourceful cooking made with love, Leta brings old-world Italian warmth and a love of gathering around the table to every class.

Zines are a small but mighty form of self-publishing: Anyone can make, print, and share them to amplify ideas and inspire change. We’ll provide everything you need to get started, including creative supplies, templates, paper, pens, and a traveling zine library for inspiration. Every participant will make and take home a zine—no previous experience required. Just bring an interest in civic engagement and enthusiasm for creating something new. This program is intended for teens through college level participants. Registration is required due to limited space and closes on Thursday, November 5. The workshop will be facilitated by designer, artist and zine enthusiast Kelsey Snook . Kelsey has worked with local non-profit OK YOU to develop a not-so-secret zine society and spent more than 15 years creating participatory environments that bring people together.

Zines are a small but mighty form of self-publishing: Anyone can make, print, and share them to amplify ideas and inspire change. We’ll provide everything you need to get started, including creative supplies, templates, paper, pens, and a traveling zine library for inspiration. Every participant will make and take home a zine—no previous experience required. Just bring an interest in civic engagement and enthusiasm for creating something new. This program is intended for teens through college level participants. Registration is required due to limited space and closes on Thursday, November 5. The workshop will be facilitated by designer, artist and zine enthusiast Kelsey Snook .
