Its all over for this leg of the series. A blinding quick time in the final saw Nicolas Ivanoff take the Red Bull Air Race in San Diego 09. Paul Bonhomme hung in for second place and Hannes Arch pulled a penalty in the Quadro while pushing the radius of the turn into it very tight. Bad luck for Hannes, also having a bird strike during his run that leg a rather large hole in his horizontal stabilizer!
Team Muroya had a clean (no penalties for the first time YEAH) run in the wild card round that put us into the final 12. The final 12 run was not so good. Looks like we need more time in the track before we can start pushing the times too much! All in all though an improvement that saw us move up 2 places on the hanger pecking order for Windsor and our first championship point YEAH!. We are taking it step by step. Congratulations to Matt Hall for his solid performance again as top Rookie!
