Yes, that was a drone that Cornell was flying after the start to get some aerial video.
Tiniest possible tail current. Heavy clouds. Temps when still about 60 F, but about 57.5 when moving. The winds had flipped between the preceding 2V8+ race and Varsity race, going from a slight tail for the 2V8+ to a mild headwind of ~1.5 mph for the V8+ race.
Thanks to Coaches Kennett, Smith and Dennison, and the Race Judge for letting me take video from the launch.
