The 2011 Toys for Tots Race at Revelation Raceway in Ontario, CA on Saturday, December 3rd. The turnout was great for this annual event which raised allot of toys for the less fortunate children.

The 1/8 Expert Buggy class, as expected would be a match race between current 1/8 World Champion Cody King and Adam Drake. In the pair's previous meeting here, King captured the TQ honors, but this time it would be Drake first on the grid, with a very impressive second round qualifier on a dry slippery track. At the start tone, the first lap was clean as Drake and King immediately separated themselves from the chasing pack. King, did not waste time and made an inside pass on Drake early, and eventually stretching that lead out to 20 seconds. At the second pit stop, King had a few crashes allowing Drake to get within 3 seconds of the lead. King managed to gather himself and get back in rhythm and stretch the lead back to 7 seconds. As time was running out, King made it past the loop for a final lap and Drake just missed it by less than a second, handing Cody the easy victory.

Talking to Cody after the race, he complained his hands were frozen in the middle of the race, and this caused the problems mid way through the final. "I was just glad to get it back together and hold off Adam for the win. It was cold, I think 40 degrees out here."

1/8 Expert Buggy Top 3 Overall
1. Cody King              Kyosho MP9 WC
2. Adam Drake (TQ)          TLR
3. Colin Herzig                   TLR

In the open class it was rising star Sean Gaffney dominating the field, with the TQ and win. Sean built a two lap lead on the field and wheeled his MP9 WC to victory over Dylan Elliott. This would give Kyosho a clean sweep of both the open and Expert Buggy classes, with Cody and Sean being a formidable duo around the SoCal racing scene of late.
