They're thinking about a drone show, kind of like that massive Titanic one they did down in Belfast a while back. Imagine that, but over the racetrack. This came up during a meeting about fireworks and pyrotechnics. One council member brought up that he'd asked about alternatives to fireworks for Halloween events, like drone shows, way back in November and hadn't. Heard anything yet. Apparently, the council has already been talking about this drone show idea for the Northwest 200.

Meanwhile, the chair of the Environmental Committee suggested he put in a formal request to make sure it happens.
