Drone Racing League Set for Take Off

The growing popularity of the Drone Racing League means that the newest season beginning Sept. 6 is approaching with more anticipation than ever.  

Cox Communications is sponsoring the league’s 2018 World Championship Series and one of the fastest drone pilots, Nick Willard, aka “Wild Willy.” 

“It’s a pretty no-brainer partnership,” said Wild Willy, who placed third overall in the 2016 and 2017 seasons. “They’re all about fast internet and great connectivity with their Panoramic WiFi you can get all around the house. We really value connectivity during drone racing. You don’t want to have anything fall out of the sky.”
