Designed by famed circuit designer John Hugenholtz, Oregon International Raceway opened in 1964. Flooding from the nearby Willamette River damaged the asphalt, and due to lack of funding to repair the track surface, the circuit was closed in 1966. In 1976, the Short Mountain landfill was established on the site. Most of the asphalt from the circuit was destroyed, but some bits remain, such as turn one and the final section.
