The Hawaii State Championship Drone Races on Maui did not go as planned for Kona’s local club team.
Because of a fire after a crash on the first day of racing, the event was not able to end on time causing the Kona club to leave before the end of competition. This led the squad to forfeit their chance to represent Hawaii in the World Invitational’s on Oahu in October.
The state competition took flight on June 25 at Maui Paintball near Lahaina. Racers from all over Hawaii attended what was supposed to be a two-day event.
