Down at the Vado Raceway, too windy to do a good chase but just calm enough to fly around a little, meet new people, and have some fun!

Nice look around the site Ray.   I never knew they sprayed the track with water like that.

Another amazing flying day, SgtRay! Thanks for sharing this video with us. Have a good one.

Very cool footage SgtRay.    Nice victory lap you took after beating the water truck.

I got there early in the morning and he was spraying it with water and read leveling it all day long until I left at about 3.

Everyone there to include the racers we're working very hard it is very hard. Harder than I thought anyone did for that kind of stuff

Thanks

You're welcome.  

Your town having a big Memorial Day event in your area?

Nice! Would be fun to watch them race.

most likely. The racing is a 2 day event. Vado is in a way part of El Paso. But I don't know what other events are going on

Yeah the wind is up over 17mph even now. Not to mention they race at night.

Not very far from El Paso to Vado, NM then.  Looks like a really big complex.

Nope not far at all. About 3 or 6 mil out side.
That was my 1st time going there. It was nice

Ahh, just a short drive.  I was just checking out the Vado Speedway website and they really host a lot of events.

The dark video was recorded with my mavic pro. I forgot to adjust the lighting. The lighter and faster video was done with the FPV drone

I've never adjusted color in post. I may have to try it.  But it also showed the difference in flight characteristics of the 2 drones

I try to match different camera's 'a little'.
But never spend too much time on this (since it is a rabbit hole that can cost you hours of editing)
