The Red Bull Air Race World Series left over 100,000 San Diegans with a crick in their neck and plenty to talk about for weeks to come. Paul Bonhomme from England took his second San Diego win in as many years. Defending champion Mike Mangold from the United States gave Paul a run for his money up until the very end, when he beat Mangold by nearly 2 seconds.

Bonhomme was ecstatic. "I'm very pleased to take the win" said Bonhomme, "you have to be consistent in every session all the time" he added later. Another American, kirby Chambliss.

Next up is Detroit in a few weeks. Should be a great time for those who have never been.
