Drone racing growing as a sport

http://www.businessinsider.com/drone-racing-is-a-new-sport-2015-8

"Property developer and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is investing $1 million in the Drone Racing League, a New York startup that aims to hold its first public race later this year, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. It’s a move that reflects the growing interest in drones for commercial and recreational use in the US, and brings first-person view (FPV) drone racing – till now an underground activity for hobbyists – one step closer to becoming a professional sport."

This has quite a ways to go yet, but there have been model car races forever.  As soon as the FCC gets it's butt moving, this could be a thing.
