This is something that was showcased by its top winners."
IDRLC's upcoming Open Class and Brushed Micro Drone Racing events will both be held at the Atlantic Convention Center's 300,000 square foot indoor racing course from June 27th-June 30th, over the same weekend as the Vans Warped Tour located just a few minutes away on the beachfront. The event is being organized with one of the largest indoor racing courses and prize pools in US history -- and the first of its kind in Atlantic City. Spectators who attend the event to watch the races will also be able to fly micro drones with the assistance of professional racers. Tickets to the event are $20 per day or $15 per day for multiple days, which can be purchased at the door or through Ticketmaster. Vans Warped Tour attendees are encouraged to participate in drone racing in between sets of their favorite musical acts.
