Lot of us with big ideas and dreams but can't put it into action. In my mind I could get into one of those old gasser looking drag cars, but if you want to compete, even they take big $'s. Why is having fun gotta cost so damn much? Hahaha. The last couple years I have been having a blast as a spectator. It's way cheaper and there is no pressure. I went to King of the Hammers this past February and that was without a doubt the best, most fun racing event I have ever been to. In 05, 06 & 07 we took our SnoX operation outside and raced the first 4 events on the WSA/ISOC circuit. Now that was expensive. Drive the truck and trailer down then buy plane tickets for our riders 3 times per season. One day my wife looked at me and said, "what is the point here" . I said "I have no clue really, I just want to beat Blare Morgan in a National Event." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very portable. https://www.amazon.com/DJI-Bundle-Shoulder-Charger-Batteries/dp/B01LZWGS9L/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1496458356&sr=8-5&keywords=mavic+pro&linkCode=ll1&tag=nekwx-20&linkId=fee036045541fdfed2fcf41bd718b942 That is a very cool unit. It's different than the other one you posted. The price is well within my budget too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just coming out when I bought my Phantom 4. I would have bought the Mavic, but couldn't get one in time to catch the fall foliage season here.

He never got a podium though. 4th place at the '07 Cantibery race was his best. He got 5th at Winnepeg in '06. We were such rookies though. We raced out of a F250 and a 24' enclosed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was almost a 3 woman finals win for Erica, Britney, and Courtney, but just fell short. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everyone's sake, you'd better hope the wives were good looking! Can you imagine some of the ladies you see these days squeezing into hot pants, hooker boots and a tube top to send the cars off?
