Quad Copter Filmed Flat Track Ice Racing.
Gawd Damnnn roosting up this frozen ice lake neighborhood good ol' boy race track looks like a ton of fun.
Great Aerial filming too. using a cheap WL 262 quad copter and Mobius camera. Both Day or Night laps would be a rush in the family sedan. Mom can I borrow the keys to the car? ![]() My friend's ice track, kaverin jäärata. - YouTube

Those are some eye-popping lean-angles.

In both vids you have a few AMA pro flat track racers, and in the MI one a couple former champions. They are also using what are known as "Canadian" screws as opposed to the AMA regulation screws. Canadians are much longer allowing them to reach through the fluff and find grip where a AMA legal screw will not. Lots of play riders use Canadians because you do not need to maintain the track as often.
More grip, and less work.

Yes. You can search utube for ice speedway. Amazing lean angles on really pointy spikes. My google foo has not worked well at finding spikes. I do have a friend who owns a screw machine shop. Time permitting I may see if I can talk him into turning up 500 or so spikes that would be needed to set up a bike.

The quad copter in the second video looks like a Phantom 2 with carbon fiber blades.

IMO the best part of the video is the young rider on the dedicated track right in front of the pits.
Dad standing on track keeping an eye out. Matt
