Help open The Drake Raceway in Beaumont California!

We wanted to give everyone an update on The Drake Raceway, formerly known as Thunder Alley Raceway. Our lease starts March 1st, we plan to start moving dirt and gathering materials next week and we are planning for a soft opening in late March of 2025. The initial cost to cleanup and refresh the track is going to be expensive but will be worth it in the end. We need help from the community to gather resources, sponsorship, and or volunteer help restore the facility back to its original state. We had a lot of requests for donations, so we set up this GoFundMe.

Our purposed cost to clean up, repair, and purchase equipment for the racetrack and is

estimated at over $25,000.00 (not including rent, utilities, and insurance)

-MyLaps Scoring system and hardware.
