Her connection to the Rose Cup pre-dates even Lux’s own birth. Her father, Dick Hahn, owned the Ferrari Testa Rossa that drove to victory lane in the first-ever Rose Cup in 1961 and 1962. The two-time Rose Cup podium finisher (2011, 2014) made her first start in the race in 2001. Lux’s brother, Steve Hahn, will also be racing this weekend in Portland but not at PIR. He will be running his Hemi Cuda at the Woodburn Dragstrip in the NHRA’s Super Stock class.
Lux is a 14-time road racing champion with 10 wins in 26 career Trans Am Series starts. Among her championship-winning performances, she is a founding board of director for the Women In Motorsports North America and is the 2018 Trans Am Series TA3 Northern Cup champion.
Lux Performance Group, owned by Fred and Cindi Lux, is based in Aloha, Oregon.
The Rose Cup start is Lux’s competitive return to not only her hometown race but to the cockpit. In 2022, Lux was involved in an accident at Watkins Glen International while racing in a Trans-Am Series race. The 55+ G impact left her body bruised and broken. Intense physically therapy and training has allowed her back behind the wheel of the Viper race car.
Qualifying will take place at 3:00 p.m. PT on July 12 with the premier race of the weekend, the Rose Cup, scheduled to take the green flag at 3:30 p.m. PT the following day, Sunday June 13.

About returning to the cockpit | "I am not going to sugar coat it; the recovery was challenging. A couple of broken bones and soft tissue injuries take time, and I am terrible at just being patient! But I have worked hard and so have the guys in the shop putting my car back to top shape. Now it’s time for me to throttle up at Rose Cup and have some fun. This race is more social than any other race on my calendar."
Rusty Olds, Brand Manager, Chinook Footwear | "Partnering with Lux Performance Group is a perfect fit for our brand. All their team members are on their feet working hard during a race weekend and really need quality footwear. We have been in the boot game for over 35 years, and now we’re building some of ’em right here in Portland. We are ecstatic about being with the team for this Rose Cup race in Portland. Local race team, local company."
