S*Kcross 25’ was a success I’d like to say!
Thank you to The Drakes, Adam Drake and Ronda Drake for letting us come use the track for this event, it’s nice to have Thunder Alley feel like home again for sure! Lot of good memories for both my dad and I, now Austin as well! He had such a blast, he got Monday off school! LOL
Can’t thank Lance MacDonald and Elite RC Productions enough for the amazing event coverage and announcing all weekend, I’m sure there were times Lance was over the difficult format but he made it happen and I appreciate his help bringing this event back!
We will work on getting the scoring to do things easier for next time!
Thanks to Rob Jackson for all the help getting the starting gates made, painting the infield Thursday night, watering and everything else over the weekend!
Mike Garrison and BOOM Rc for all the help with flyers, banners, shirts, awards, stickers.. Everything looked awesome and even more in store for 2026 if he wasn’t s*k of me after this!
This event wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing sponsors, Tekno RC provided car kits to the winners of the Sportsman classes, built by Nick Wautlet and Wallie Builds! The Drake Racing provided engines for both second place finishers in the Sportsman Nitro classes. Tyler Brown and Jenn from J&T Bearing Company donated servos and a ton of ProMotion prizes for the raffle! AMain Hobbies with some awesome Cayote products and Protek servos!
Mac Mitchell from Maxline donated wheel nuts to all racers and more product for raffle! Jason Snyder and Rawspeed hooked us up with a ton of prizes. Jason Ruona and Jconcepts again hooked up the raffle giveaways! Hobbywing North America donated an ESC and programmer! Nick Hernandez from Tzo Tires kicked in more prizes! Team Associated gave away a car kit! Chasen Ehrlich and Racecraft USA threw in some coozies and FLOCKFOILS!
Last but not least, thank you to all the racers who attended this event and made it worth having! Seeing old and new faces after 8 years away was exciting and I hope everyone remembers or now knows, S*k layouts aren’t for the weak! I heard mostly great things all weekend long, everyone having a blast! Ton of prizes given away! Insane amount of track time! There are some things we will adjust and improve for next year! If you have constructive critism, feel free to message me direct! Would love to hear your opinion if I haven’t read about it already!
If you didn’t attend, maybe you’ll want to next year! There are some big ideas in the works already and we will see what happens from it all! We will be back for sure!
Thank you all!
