Lastly, the SCC Network also has a drone pilot coming to fly a drone along the route as a stationary air shot to go during the race.
The SCC Network would like to give a huge shout out to Impressive Designs Studio as well as Ink Made Productions for their help in making this logistically possible; providing drone work and generator power respectively.
