San Diego cleared for Red Bull Air Race

By Janice Wood · March 27, 2009 ·

The Red bull Air Race World Championships soar into San Diego May 9-10. This will be the third time the race has been held in San Diego. More than 120,000 fans attended the race last year.

It all kicks off the week of May 5 with various Red Bull Air Race concerts, parties and special events leading up to Race Day.

The 2009 six-city worldwide tour will kick off in Abu Dhabi, UAE on April 17 and 18. San Diego will host the second (and only U.S.) stop of this year’s World Championship, with the third stop taking place in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, June 13 and 14 just across the river from Detroit.

Tickets for the Red Bull Air Race weekend at the Embarcadero Marine Park are $40 for a two-day general admission pass.
