Red Bull Air Races

[Jiggerachi]

Is anyone making it out to TMS this weekend? I was there yesterday with my dad and will be taking my kids there this afternoon. It was a last minute call to get tickets, sorry I didn't post about it sooner if you hadn't heard about it yet.

Well worth the heat and admission for the weekend, if you haven't seen them before. If you're not going, there's live streaming here.

Here is a video and some of the pics I didn't delete. Those buggers are hard to keep up with.

I was there all day yesterday and am heading out again today. LOTS of pylon carnage yesterday... and those challengers are scary

Looked like a Novice-class autocross

Great pics! Wish I could have been there.

Sorry I missed this, but the kids didn't want to go. Now I realized, I should have forced them.

It was very hot in the stands and the sun was a killer!! But the event was amazing!!

I was in the stands under the shade. It was a yawner. Better coverage on TV. Not a very visceral experience being there like Indy Car, F1 or WRC.

I was there both days and enjoyed it. Hot yes, but with the shade and lots of water it was bearable. The Challenge class was really running in bad conditions at the end of Sat. They had heavier planes trying to run is a strong and variable wind. I cut the novice air-crossers some slack. :)
