Drone racing offers thrills, spills

Whirring engines, hairpin turns and the occasional crash -- but today, instead of top performance cars with millions of dollars of research behind them, it's tiny drones crossing the finish line. "There's really nothing like it," said Tom Buckley, who founded the Boston Multi Rotor Club. "You're in the driver's seat, you are the pilot, you're going around these courses at very fast speeds." Today, Buckley and a couple dozen others will fire up their drones, connect their remote controllers and zoom around a track as fast as they can at BMRC's latest race. The races are often scored based on how many laps each drone can fly in two minutes.
