The fifth race of the 2010 Red Bull Air Race World Championship season will be held, in partnership with NYC & Company, Jersey City, NJ and Liberty State Park, over the Hudson River on June 19 and 20. This year marks the sixth year of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship which will also land in nine cities including Abu Dhabi, UAE; Perth, Australia, and Lisbon, Portugal.
Best place is anchored between the Battery and Ellis Island. I’m working on a plan, anyone interested in participating PM me. Pickup points would be at the Science Museum in Jersey and probably South Street Seaport in Manhattan.
Cost will be greater than $40 per person I fear, much greater.
RedBull claims that the race won’t be visible by the naked eye from the Battery, but I have to thin it would be. But maybe I’m wrong. I’ll try to get down there and take a peek.
I don’t know what they’ll do about Ellis Island, because I would imagine a lot of folks would have that idea. $12 for the ticket to Ellis island is mighty tempting, but there is only one really viable viewing spot there.
Just got this email today about it… tinyurl.com/RedBullAirRace1
Don’t worry, its not a virus or anything. Trust me. I wouldn’t even know how to make one.
I was at a party on the North Shore of Staten Island for the duration of the race today. I couldn’t see the course from where I was but was watching on TV, then walking out to the yard to watch the Extra that had just finished the course fly overhead at 2,000 ft or so. I got a couple of pictures and a video as well.
Neither did I but I’m not going to request others NOT to talk about it. That’s just plain stupid to ask people not to give their experiences there. Aren’t you interested in hearing what went on at the races from people who where there? I know I am.
