Held at Revelation Raceway in Ontario, California, over the weekend of December 17th and 18th, the Christmas Gifts for Kids Race brought together nearly 100 entries to race for a good cause that included a huge collection of toys for needy children. The weather for the event looked daunting and swamped the track the previous week, but fortunately for everyone, the sun came out and provided cold but clear skies and fast racing. In the Nitro Buggy and Truggy classes, it was Mugen’s Adam Drake who put on a display in the 30-minute mains to capture the titles. However, in the buggy class, Drake wouldn’t go unchallenged and had to fight hard to make up the half lap deficit that Kyosho’s Cody King enjoyed early on. But, Drake’s consistency was the deciding factor and he drove clean as he worked to the front and past King and never looked back on his way to a comfortable lean and eventually the win. Drake also TQ’d and won the Nitro Truggy class at the event.
