So you’ve heard Coden (pronounced Co-De-N), Alabama is the end of the road and nothing is happening there. You would be right on one count but wrong on the other. Coden is the site of South Bay R/C Racing and that’s what’s happening Saturdays.

Grown men, kids and families alike gather at the Coastal Response Center (7385 HWY 188, Coden Alabama) with radio controlled model cars, good intentions and visions of what will be. I had the pleasure of meeting Bubba and Stephanie Bosarge at the Blue Heron while everyone was their for lunch.  Bubba is a talker, and before you know it it is Saturday mid-day and I am out photographing the South Bay R/C Racing group’s Saturday racing extravaganza.

Kids of all ages, young and the worldy-wise, gather to race, banter and share  friendship and support in the aftermath of the one-two punch that was Katrina and the BP Oil Spill.

The vision of  three men, three families, a community, is an R/C drag strip, currently in place, and an oval raceway and an off road challenge course. They hope to provide a positive and constructive activity outlet for the youth of the South Bay communities. Something that would put Coden, Alabama on the R/C map, oh my, it would put Coden on the map period. These folks have a vision and the energy and persistence to accomplish that vision. If you would like to help or contribte to this vision in any way shape or form call Bubba Bosarge at 251-423-9826.

Be a part of rebuilding the Gulf Coast.

Here to prove ‘electric’ cars do have a future; at least on th R/C circuit.

Good clean fun and it’s happening on Saturdays in Coden, Alabama. Check it out!
