I saw part of it too!!!! That was AWESOME! What happens when they hit those obsticles though? Did it happen?

I didnt get to see this one, but I like to watch them. It is so cool watching these little planes do all kinds of crazy stuff. and all at high speeds and feet from the ground. I could imagine the G's

The obsticles are like big ballons, when a plane hits one it just rips into pieces and falls to the ground.

Oh man you missed out it was some awesome flying, they get as close as 15ft to the ground and pull 10g's in some of there turns Kirby Chambliss won this race.

That is awsome. I used to watch the oldschool racing with the P51's and stuff, but i dont know if they even do that still. Here is the bio on Kirby Chambliss, what a loser!
