If my calculations are correct, Baja 1000 starts tomorrow. I wish I was there. I wish I had my own helicopter to fly over it and watch.

Hurrah for the brave new world of video drones. Helicopters for the rest of us.

(Not that I can afford a nice one, or want to deal with the bureaucracy involved in trying to fly one.)

I mean, it’s perfect for city traffic. You can’t get into a fender bender without fenders.

Highway traffic jam? Hit the median @90mph for a while.

Or take the “ back roads” and by that I mean power line cuts.

baja is in Mexico. Everyone knows... anything goes there... and by anything I mean you can fly your drone without having to register it with FAA

I dont need to learn how to fly. I just need to know how to take off and land.

Lesson 1: Take-offs are optional. Landings are not.

If I can watch baja from a helicopter while also piloting, i can die happy. no need to land...successfully or in one piece

Alex Rossi is racing this year so I’m paying attention for once.

Big suspension arms plus big shocks gives big travel. From what I can see, s uspension design is witchcraft.

What blows my mind are watching WRC cars take big jumps. The amount of negative suspension travel they have is just crazy.
