Each year, RFC Northwest has a booth at the Portland Rod and Custom Show as well as the Portland Roadster Show. At these shows we get opportunity to visit and share God’s love with both vendors and visitors.     We have chaplains at various drag strips throughout the Northwest Region. Jets always draw crowds to racing events.   Much of our work is done through conversations with individuals in the pits.   It is a privilege to attend Jr. Dragster events as well as events for adults.   Making friends with race teams and being of service to them is our greatest pleasure.
