Are You Going to The Red Bull Air Races?

[kraig]

I'm disappointed my fellow Detroiter's fail to take an interest in this international event.

What, not enough arrogant jack-asses like Kobe as pilots?

We're interested. In fact, the first year on the river, Detroit was the host. And a few hundred thousand people packed Hart Plaza and the rest of the riverfront area in support. Unfortunately, in the following year, then Mayor Cockrel, in his infinite wisdom, decided to cancel the event. Maybe one of the planes should have been painted up as the Star Trek Enterprise for the self-proclaimed geek. But in any event, the City of Windsor stepped up and took over the event. The interest is, and was, there. It's the leadership that was lacking.
