Thunder Alley saved & becomes ‘The Drake Raceway’

Last October iconic US offroad track Thunder Alley announced that it was to close at the end of 2024 but now thanks to the intervention of RC racing’s most famous couple, Adam & Ronda Drake, the Southern California track will continue to rumble to the sound of nitro engines and be known as ‘The Drake Raceway’.  Part of a public park, the track was set to be permanently closed with authorities planning to repurposing the facility but work in the RC community behind the scenes sees the track get a second chance.  On his Facebook pageDrake posted, ‘We are so grateful and thankful to the R/C community for their outreach and support in helping us work with the Beaumont Cherry Valley Park District to keep such an iconic track (Thunder Alley) going.  We have a lot of work ahead of us, but it will be rewarding and worth it.  The support has been amazing and we’re looking forward to racing with everyone in the near future at The Drake Raceway at Noble Creek Park.’  Well done to everyone involved.
