The Kootenai RC Racers will welcome champion RC racing power duo Adam and Ronda Drake for its 10th annual Hot August Showdown race event Aug. 5-7.
According to the RC Racers, Adam and Ronda have a wealth of RC racing and vehicle setup experience and have traveled all over the world attending both on-road and off-road races.
Sponsored by Mugen Seki, Adam and Ronda also run their own online shop and performance RC engine break in and tuning service.
Founded in 2013, the Kootenai RC Racers are northwest Montana's oldest, continuously running RC racing club. Our members are passionate about RC racing, as well as making a positive impact in the Libby and Lincoln County area.
The Hot August Showdown, in its 10th year, continues to be one of the longest-running RC dirt track races in Montana.
Moving to its new home at Cabinet Mountain RC Raceway in 2020, the event continues to draw in racers from across the Pacific Northwest and the rest of the country. With the addition of Adam and Ronda Drake, 2022 is looking to be the event’s biggest year ever.
Developed in partnership with Lincoln County and the Lincoln County Port Authority, Cabinet RC Raceway is a large-sized, outdoor, dirt RC racetrack.
Each year, the Kootenai RC Racers have the layout rebuilt so it is a new race experience each season.
This year’s track layout, built by Matt Dortmund, proves to be a fast, challenging version and should be a great addition to the rough and tumble racing Hot August Showdown has become well known for around the area.
The Kootenai RC Racers are fortunate to have sponsors every year that support the Hot August Showdown.
As of this release, event sponsors include Scheer Bros. Hobbies, Venture Inn, Country Inn Motel, Formula Fabrication Heating & Cooling, Libby Volunteer Fire Department, NAPA Auto Parts – Libby, Pop’s Vapor Shop and Hav-A-Java.
