2008 - Red Bull Races in Detroit
Despite terrible flying weather (torrential, non-stop rains) on Friday,
May 30th, we were ultimately able to attend the Red Bull Air Races in
Detroit from May 30 through June 1st. Unfortunately it meant
driving over 1,000 miles, round-trip -- but it was worth it!
We met the Burns' Family, our friends from Wisconsin, and a great
time was had by all. Saturday's qualifying runs were cancelled due to
high winds, but the racing on Sunday more than made up for it!
If you ever get the chance to see these fantastic air races "in person" --
do whatever it takes to see 'em -- you won't regret it. .
Here are some videos of the races:
