Red Bull is no Bull!

Michael C. Morris
September 28, 2007
Being a journalist has perks and in this case the perk was being invited to The Red Bull Air Race in San Diego this past weekend.

I have been invited and attended many events around the world including Formula One and The Indy 500, but I have to say that this event had a very special element; it was not the same old thing!

The Red Bull Air Race brought the elements of head to head competition, daring aerial precision flying and pure excitement for every age into one package that every family can enjoy.

Round One, the elimination round found Paul Bonhomme of Great Britain on top of the pack with just 0.16 seconds over second place Kirby Chambliss of the USA. The Russian pilot Sergey Rakhmanin gave the crowd a moment to hold their breath as he hit not one but two of the massive pylons.


The second round, the head to head competition phase, added the excitement of elimination not just by time but by out flying the person that you are matched up against. Great Stuff!!!

In the end it was Paul Bonhomme of Great Britain on top, second place Kirby Chambliss of the USA and Nigel Lamb of Great Britain third, but everyone that attended was a winner in my opinion as this was a great event sponsored by a great company.

Red Bull, keep up the innovative racing events and for all my readers, if you can be there next year, take the whole family and support the sponsor, Red Bull. You won’t be disappointed!
