Default drag racing in the Bahamas

Hey Club Lexus its bin awhile since i posted anything on here due to our local track being shut down that put a damper on our racing industry here in the Bahamas. After 3 years with no track we finally have a brand new IHRA certified 1/8 mile track here in the Bahamas.

Here is a link to a video of this Sunday's test and tune


We have open arms to any body/shop that wants to bring cars down to the Bahamas for a weekend event. for more information regarding coming to the Bahamas feel free to pm me with questions.

So many tight rides in on video I've ever seen, but as far as drag racing goes I'd have to be honest it was weak

Video was cool, and it may seem so but more closely im looking at the video the video has been slow motioned quite a bit which should never be the case for actual action videos, maybe a close up on burnouts but the actual races it should be played in real time.

Great video! I am most interested in the aerial system you used more than the cars-- what was the rig and camera? I'd love to know more!

I have been to the Bahamas a few times to see family friends and it's very beautiful there. I was floored by the sheer number of RHD imported Japanese sportscars that are nearly impossible to obtain in the USA.

Thanks!! We were using an Octocopter with our 3-axis brushless gimbal flying a Sony FS100. All of the ground shots were obtained using our handheld brushless gimbal.
