    Glitch Mob, nice! I'd love to do something like that if I got the opportunity sometime. You guys were lucky to get some rain mixed in there! Cool point of view too, someone's done this at our events at Summit Point before.

      Awesome. They either just had one or are having one soon at the nice new kart track near me. I'd like to get a team to go do it as it looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Excellent video too.

              Awesome! What kind of drone? Homebrew or did you buy it prebuilt?

                Pretty wild! Was this in rental karts? I did a 2 hr kart enduro recently - 24 hrs is crazy! Drone is sweet too.

                    Thanks guys. The drone is a highly modified DJI Phantom. Here's a full compilation of stuff I've done with it.

                    Compilation of DJI Phantom footage. Wing Suiting, Base Jumping, Vail Colorado, Dogs, Denver, High Plains Raceway, and the Inca Avalanche Downhill Mountain Bike…


                    The kart race is with the rental karts. Sodi rentals. The first race they added weight to compensate, but the last few have had lap corrections based on weight. The lap correction at this race took into consideration the rain, which hurt me because I am on the higher end of the scale. I highly recommend doing one if you can. It is by far the best racing experience you can get for the buck - and I race Chump Car too.

                      This reminds me of when I used to race, I had a Rotax max 125 on an old arrow chassis thing used to fly!

                      I never raced long enduro though, what engines and frames are you using?

                      Great video!
