*edit*  Should have mentioned it's not my video, just found the link going through youtube vidsn and I thought it looked great.

That's really awesome footage. Can't wait to see the rest of what you got over the weekend!  Thanks guys! We really appreciate you taking the time and energy to take this to the next level.

All the great videos that Andrei and his crew have been doing this year plus this amazing heli-video will surely do more for racing at Mission Raceway Park than any form of advertising I have seen previously. :) :D ;D
Got to say I never expected to 'race' a helicopter down the main straight at MRP, truly fantastic!

Video footage like this should be use to promote the track. Post the footage on other race club forums to get them talking about our club and track.

Would be nice to see some open wheel footage :)

Great job keep it up we appreciate the effort and time you have put into making this available.

Alan ;)

This is fantastic :) I had been thinking about building a quadcopter to shoot footage at Mission for the past couple years, but didn't think I'd trust myself to fly over race cars. I'd be terrified to ruin someone's day.

These guys look like pros, the footage is great, I'm glad someone got it done!

Ronin added another. Open wheel guys rejoice. :)

This is really great stuff. Andrei, thanks for doing this. Great closed wheel action. Any chance you can put together an open wheel video?

I just want to clarify that Dino Milacic is the one who got  Ronin to come out with the copter cam thing. Dino sponsors and drives my car in cw1, spending so much time with him  I can say with out a doubt  there isn't anyone more driven to promoting the club and track more than him.  hell I had to prepare the car with a live band and a raffle going on in my paddock.

It's funny you should mention that Doug......with a 24 car o/w grid on the w/e, I would have thought that there would be some more footage :-/ Maybe we need to put fenders and doors on......check out the SCCBC f/b page and count how many o/w cars you see :'(
We just need a larger car count for next year or a "stig" driving with us ;D After all, the o/w group made up about 25% of the entries for the w/e. Huh!

Please keep in mind that any of the overhead videos you have seen thus far are samples only, and full versions of sessions are being worked on.

Let's not jump to negative conclusions before we know all the facts.

It was just a pook ;)  no negativity intended. Sorry it came across like that. You know me :)

should have read "poke".

I see you haven't learned to edit yet Williams  ::).
Give me a call I'll tell you how it's done ;).
Couldn't resist giving you a 'pook'. ;D

And I refer to you in conversation as a friend.  :-/ Time to re-think my choices better. (fiend) is what I meant to write.....can't find the edit button ;D
