Default Red Bull Air Races are coming to Detroit !!!

May 31st & June 1st

I've been wanting to see these races !!!


The race will be staged along the Detroit River, which is one of the world’s most trafficked international shipping lanes. Downtown Detroit between the General Motor’s Renaissance Center and Bell Isle Park along the newly renovated Detroit RiverFront is where Detroit race fans can catch a piece of the action on May 31st and June 1st. The race will be the third stop in a 10-stop world series tour, and the 2nd race in the U.S.A.

There will be two ticketed areas on both the Detroit and Windsor sides of the river that will offer all the necessary amenities and services including Jumbotron screens to get a birds-eye view of the race action as well as premium concessions to make the race weekend complete.

San Diego would be the better of the two US venues but if you have to go to Detroit, I would suggest the Windsor side. Better atmosphere...restaurants, bars, canadian ballet, etc. Used to have the advantage of a nice exchange rate between US and Canadian currency as well but that ship has sailed.

I'm possibly going, 50/50 chance, but better than none at all.
