The Thunderdrome! is a Not-Just-For-Profit Company, which means we're rolling our profits directly into the repair, restoration and revival of the Dorais Park and Velodrome in Detroit, MI. Once home to many Olympic level cyclists, the National Soapbox Derby races and thousands of neighborhood children, Dorais Park has fallen to vandals, natural erosion and garbage dumpers. We've taken it upon ourselves to restore the velodrome, rebuild the children's playground and bring back the 1/2 mile Soapbox Derby Hill - but we need your help! Keep racing with and watching The Thunderdrome! and you'll be helping the cause!
