Default Re: Round 3; Red Bull Air Races - Detroit MI

Well, SleepyC,


They sound ..... um....... BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The race format was a little changed due to weather here, more like sudden death. Everyone got one pass to pick the top four for a run off.

Chambliss pulled it off by less than .5 second. These guys were running this course in just over a minute. They were saying that anything at 1min 20sec would be in the running and it ends up the podium takers all had runs over 5 seconds faster than that. Fastest time of the day was about 1min 10sec, but the run for 1st and 2nd were both in the 1.12 range. Chambliss set a 1:12.08 and Bonhomme set a 1:12.23 . Man those guys were pushing it. But SMOOOOOTH too.
