Local RC Tracks

This year the RC Repair shop sponsored a 1/8 scale nitro buggy to participate in the local nitro races and we’ve loved every minute of it. Always having that curiosity… “wonder what this looks like from above” prompted me to photograph a few of these local tracks we race on.

The first track is also known as the “Church Track” by the Colorado Springs RC Community. This track is located at Dublin / Powers in the Church of All Nations parking lot (north side). Since this photo was taken they have finished the driver stand and pit lane and have even hosted their 1st race!

The second track we took aerial photos of is Dusty Trails Raceway in Pueblo, Colorado. The track is located around Purcell and Hwy 50 (Pueblo West) and is located in Ken’s backyard. This track has all the amenities we look for; good lighting, consistent watering structure, AMBrc timing system, high driver stand with well thought out pit area, etc… This has definitely been one of our favorite tracks this year and one to check out if you want to not only race, but have a blast doing it.

New Equipment

Well it’s been a little over a year since I updated and a lot has changed with Rocky Mountain AP. The biggest change for us was moving into DSLR camera bodies. See our equipment page, but this meant upgrading our lifting capacity with an 800mm bladed helicopter. This will also allow us the ability to carry High Definition camcorders, which we are currently in the process of testing. As the technology grows so will the services we are able to offer our customers. Thank you for making this past 1.5 years a great success story and we look forward to continuing to delight our customers with great aerial photographs!
