Guest Pop-top Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Hi Guys, (bolded for skim readers :thumb_up:) 2 years ago I discovered the Red Bull air race and became hooked! So I thought I would start a thread so I could look out for other enthusiasts. In the forum board that resides within the the "what state are you from?" poll the discussion started that we could look into having an event arranged when the 2010 Red Bull returns to Perth. (According to rumour, Perth Government took their finger off the pulse and missed out on hosting a race for 2009 - VERY disappointing considering 2009 it's the first year we will have an Aussie Rookie Super licensed to compete! - Matt Hall) I went to the 2008 Perth Final Race and it was one of those definitive moments in life when awe takes over and you cant stop smiling and photographing EVERYTHING! So I'd just like to open up discussion on the pilots, races through out the year, and the possibility of anyone else attending or planning to attend in 2010 :big_grin:
Guest Brett Campany Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Will be there in 2010 most definatly! Would also like to talk with RAAus about a fly in to Langley Park but due to that Bell Tower monstrosity on the western end, it might not happen. The race is penciled in for March 2010. The Air race organisation wanted it in march this year but the WA State Govt. couldn't pull its finger out in time to get it organised so that's why it wasn't here this year. All good though, it's back again next year and should be a good event!
shags_j Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Can't wait for it to start this year. Matt Hall is amazing and should do well. If he doesn't do well this year then I predict a hanis arch style second year championship... SO wehn is the first race?
Guest Pop-top Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 1st race is scheduled for 17th and 18th of April at Abu Dhabi :big_grin:
Guest Pop-top Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 For the purpose of being there to see and experience Matt win...I'd love to see him win in March 2010 the Perth race...that would just be fantastic.
shags_j Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Seems i'm going to have to get foxtel this year. Need it to watch red bull and aero tv.
gofastclint Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I bet you could get some great last minute tickets to Abu Dhabi.
Guest Pop-top Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I think you can stream it from the red bull air race web site? but it certainly says which channels are showing it and when if you look up Australia. it's usually the same weekend or the following one from the race. They only show it for 2 hours or so on Sunday from memory... Can anyone confirm or dis-confirm this?
shags_j Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Yeah used to be on channel 9 HD the weekend after. I think Fox bought it out this year but I can't confirm that.
Guest Cloudsuck Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 And for all you Facebookers out there, you can become a fan on Matt Hall Racing. I was fan number 6. It has grown a little since then. He also as kicked off a new website at Matt Hall Racing

Guest ozzie Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 for those who missed it he did his first solo in a drifter, cool. his father took him gliding from the age of 5, flew FA18s with the RAAF, saw combat in Iraq with the US when he was on exchange. was shot at by ground to air missels. loves aerobatics and ready for redbull. what a life.
Guest Cloudsuck Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I wonder if he will sell his Giles???? I wonder how much I could get for my house???? I wonder if the missus and kids would mind living in a caravan????
Guest Pop-top Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 lol, so many valid questions! Does anyone know how the organisers of this forum are going contacting Red bull to arrange something for members in 2010 March Perth? If nothing gets organised in the end and later down the track, is anyone interested in joining in an official group to go hangout and see it?
Tomo Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 k, is anyone interested in joining in an official group to go hangout and see it? You know we could somehow intertwine it into a fly away... I know Perth is a fair distance, but over a few days and with a group of flyer's it would be awesome fun... We've got all year to contemplate on it, so what do you reckon fella's?
Guest Pop-top Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 That sounds absolutely awesome! (sorry I meant to say lets create an "unofficial" group to just go along to the race) I live in Adelaide, and I'm still a student ...pending on how I'm going closer to the time, I may need to ask someone if I can navigate for them and of course, split costs. But it is a VERY exciting idea!!! I've never been to a fly-in etc before :big_grin: Do any of you live in Adelaide?
