True Rusty, they are sure flying on the edge. I've never understood how they scored those but, never-the-less it leaves very little for error. I'm suprised they haven't had more accidents. I've heard rumour that they might bring some of those races over the N.A.? I wonder how the FAA would sanction races which involve flying under bridges and between structures at less than the 1500ft clearnace currently required? [some of those pylon's you have to fly through in knife edge correct?]
