I see the film is shot by Elmer Dyer. He was a pioneer aerial cinematographer. He made quite a few flying movies with well known actors.

I wonder where this is at? Looks like the hills south of LA.

Cool stuff. It is very early CRA (at the time CRA stood for California Roadster Association) footage. Looks like a mixed race with the Balboa group (?) from San Diego. Among the identifiable drivers from CRA are: #44 Manuel Ayulo, #53 Yam Oka, #10 Bill Jackson, #9 Eddie Korgan, #57 Ferdy Staumont and #22 Johnny Vanderbeck. Thanks for posting.
