Still, these were minor glitches in an overall wonderful weekend. If you
EVER get the chance to see this international "World Series" of air racing,
jump at it. I had seen their first "exhibition race" at Reno, back in '04,
so I knew what it was about -- and I'm here to tell you that they were worth
every hour of that horrible, 1000-mile drive to see them.


Jay, even though this group is getting out of control I always enjoy your
posts.
I went to the first Red Bull in Perth Australia 2006. Absolutely enjoyed
every minute of it. (As well as the city of Perth - great food).
Same thing happened with the Red Bull souvenirs, they had all but sold out
by the second day.
For us it was a 4000km round trip from Adelaide with a Jet Jockey, and I
would certainly jump at the chance to go again, especially now that the
momentum is building and the series is becoming more spectacular.

Keep up the great posts.
