Draganfly (DPRO) Trophy Truck, driven by Ryan Arciero, placed second in the Unlimited Class at the Mint 400 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The result marks the second successful race of the 2021 season for the Draganfly Trophy Truck following on from Ryan’s out-right victory at August’s prestigious 2021 Maxxis Tires “Casey Folks” Vegas to Reno race.
Draganfly was a key partner throughout the Mint 400, courtesy of its advanced UAV thermal imaging technology, which assisted the team safely through the large amounts of dust thrown up by competitors, which can not only cost valuable time in slowing the truck but can also pose a real danger to those racing.
Draganfly drones installed with their proprietary mapping software were also utilized to give the most accurate terrain data to the team pre-race, to provide a competitive advantage in displaying areas of the 400-mile course that could create issues or highlight an otherwise unknown danger during the actual event.
Commenting on the race, Trophy Truck driver Ryan Arciero said: “Having Draganfly as a part of this racing program is incredible. The dust was horrible, and the imaging technology is becoming a game-changer, I’ve got to thank Draganfly.”
“Draganfly has been developing game-changing technology with software, hardware, AI and services innovation that integrate with truck and race team,” said Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly.
“This is the same commitment we have toward all of our customers and are so honoured that Ryan and his team have the faith in us that they do,” concluded Chell.
