Ah! Never forget: It comes from Austria.

Red Bull originated in Thailand. I think it was Peter B. and some
other pilots who designed the race format.

Red Bull is international (today); but still: it is an Austrian company.

....um...er...it's a bit far from the Left Coast :-)

We saw the Red Bull Air Races in Reno, back in '04, and were blown away
by them.

Hey, that's the same year I saw them...and missed you and Mary by a day
as you guys had to scoot early. That was my second year at Reno and I
enjoyed both race styles.

Yeah, that's the year we had to leave on Saturday, ahead of a HUGE
early-winter storm system. Had we not left that day, we'd have been stuck
in Reno for weeks.

It would be cool if they could do a "Reno-style" air race somewhere else,
but the liability boys would have a field day. Wasn't it the old "Cleveland
Air Races" that experienced a terrible crash (into an occupied home) that
ended that type of racing pretty much everywhere?

Didn't they try to organize one last year (?) in rural Mississippi that
flopped?
