Hi everyone, a month or two ago I posted a search for drone racers in DC, Maryland, or Virginia who wanted to begin a drone racing club or knew about one I could join. Here is my original post:
"Recently, the new Make: magazine arrived and had an article on FPV drone racing. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a group of people who make drones and mount cameras (hence FPV or "first person view") to watch a screen live and race. Not all drones have cameras, but most racers do. I was recently told to get into a ham radio club to learn about electronics, but I didn't think many of those would be around anymore. When I saw the article, it occurred to me that racing drones was sort of a more current version of those. Anyway, I'm not really at the level of drone building/racing yet in terms of electronics skill, but I'm certainly interested in doing it in the near future. If anyone knows about a drone- racing group or would like to start one, I'm looking for anyone in DC, Virginia, or Maryland.

I didn't get many satisfying replies to this post so I've decided to post it in the radio and communications section if there is anybody here interested.
