No track, just space

This is an interesting video of RC cars. Wish I knew more about it—what their route rules are since no one was crashing in to anyone else. I really like the effect of lights on the cars in the dim lighting.

Avon Park, Florida
DC Off Road RC Park has an event coming up—the 1st Annual 1/10 Scale Winter Shoot Out on Dec 15, 2007.
