red bull pilots are real men. they are always some british ex-combat pilots with cockney accents and egos as big as their balls. thats a career path i definitely would have signed up for in high school.

Anyone going/gone to this?JERSEY CITY — Hundreds of spectators began filing into Liberty State Park this morning for the qualifying rounds of the Red Bull Air Race Championship, a multi-city international competition making its first appearance on the East Coast.
A crowd of some 65,000 is expected to watch 15 pilots compete from Liberty State Park; the two qualifying rounds of the race begin today at 2 p.m. Then the field dwindles to 12, then to eight based on the best times. The final four pilots compete for the championship run on Sunday. The event ends around 6 p.m.
The high-speed, small-aircraft race has been presented annually since 2003, but makes its East Coast debut over the Hudson River this weekend. The Red Bull race touts having "speed, precision and skill" wrapped into one sport. Each race course has its own characteristics; some take place over land and others over water.
