This year’s Toys for Tots is going to be better than ever. We want to thank Rob & Levi Jackson of Thunder Alley R/C Raceway for the opportunity to bring the race back to where it all started at Palm Desert R/C Raceway. The sponsors are coming onboard nicely and we should have a great Raffle to benefit Toys for Tots.
We of course are keeping it simple and offering limited classes. The one big change this year will be all sponsored driver must run in the Pro Class, if you get a discount on product or a full ride you are sponsored... Somebody thinks your fast enough and that’s good enough for us. Last year Rob Jackson of Thunder Alley started the 12 and under class and because this is a race about Kids we wanted to keep with that newly started tradition. They will be able to run whatever they bring as it’s about the fun and not really the rules for this class, of course the parents will get involved as they will become the turn marshals for the kids. (We want to keep them safe)
In the next few weeks we will announce the rules for each of the classes. The weather here is usually much warmer and with the track against the mountain it’s usually sheltered enough from wind and weather. The track has gone through too many improvements to list. All I can say is if you liked it before just wait...
We will have the Marines from 29 palms collecting the toys and a special presentation of colors from one of the local scout troops. Another great thing just came together. Dan Mets from
www.desertskycam.com com will be providing Aerial footage of the race event though the day with his Helicopter cam. This should be a very cool thing to watch after the race.
I can’t wait to bring this all back to where it started and see everyone having a blast again at the track.
