    We attended a drag racing event at the Champion Raceway in White City, Oregon, and shot some aerial video.

    The motorcycles were first in the lineup so I only got a couple before I was setup and ready to fly.  The rail in the video looked like it had a motorcycle motor in it.  The final drive was a chain too.

    You could smell the difference in the fuel some of those faster cars were using.

    Thank you.  It was a lot of fun filming and just being there.  I did not even know that the Champion Raceway existed until a couple months ago.  Luckily at that time I ran into Mike DeCamp who was gracious enough to invite me out.
