They will set up 3 wireless cameras along the course route, a stationary camera from their bus location, and an additional camera on the Voice of the SCC Network - Dewayne Cook - as he announces the race along with pre and post-meet interviews he will conduct. 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.
