Bringing Detroit Back!! Meet The ThunderDrome.

[MaxSpeed]

In 2010, we had this crazy idea: Dig out an old, nearly forgotten velodrome in Detroit, patch it up, cut down the brush and hold a race there. Thanks to friends, sponsors, and the community at large in a little over a month we managed to do it and make a helluva good time of it. We call it The Thunderdrome! Everyone had such a hoot at the 2010 event that we’re doing it again every year year – only bigger and better. We’re adding more classes and a whole mess of other great ideas brewed up over bad brew. The Thunderdrome! isn’t your average race: it’s loose, it’s raw, and it’s for people who take their corn flakes with a little bit of rocket fuel. You have to be a little weird to like it – but that’s what makes it good!

So check out the site, poke around in our stellar flicks and vids section, read up on the coverage by the media at large and maybe, just maybe, you’ll screw up enough courage to enter yourself into the fray.
