NYC Red Bull Air Race @ Liberty State Park.
 

Looking to see if anyone has some info on this event. I am curious if you can spectate buy boat or not. It's at liberty state park. I would assume there going to fly over the water some where around the Statue of Liberty. This would be a great day to organize a run down the Hudson.

Found some info on the race

This should be great!

I was thinking about doing something myself until I realized it was the same weekend as my sister's wedding. If I behave at the wedding Sat night I may be able to make it over there by late morning early afternoon so I'll follow this thread to see if anything gets set up (either by land or sea).

BTW, how's the arm coming along?

think I may go check this out..looks pretty cool..

Thanks that was the info I was looking for. Can't wait

I have an idea...

Anyone who is not boating want to meet up and watch the race from a bar on the water. Should be a great day. I think dealing with the boat is going to be more trouble than it's worth

Saw this:
Heres from NJ.com: The race will only be visible from certain parts of Liberty State Park and attendees must purchase tickets. Spectators can view the race from 500 feet away on the shore line. Red Bull Air Race officials have said the race will not be visible from the New York side of the Hudson River because of the small size of the aircraft and location on the river. Hope this helps. Cheers.

I think it is BS, its an airshow, you will be able to see if from the NY side.

I would def consider meeting up Sun., just can't do Sat.

Betting that the Coasties will clear a very wide spot under the activities, just like they do for the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds.....or for an offshore race. If you're going to try to see it from a boat, make sure you can get close enough to make it worth the effort.

I was told they they are expecting accidents and want to have a clear enough distance so no one is in danger.

:evilb:

I'm going to go on the 20th... will be anchored in the south spectator zone.

Good Stuff!

Anyone interested in participating in a demo boat race on sat and sunday being put on in conjunction with red bull, contact Billy Frenz @ 203-532-1312.
There will be PRESS and TV ! ...MUCH EXPOSURE! This will also promote the around Long Island Race.

i was just reading on another site that says you will not be able to anchor. they did the same thing last year when they had the fireworks on the river. you had to be in the spectator area's by a certain time and had to idle in the area until they let you leave witch was four hours!!.

used to do that when I as a kid.....it was called bumper cars........lol........

exactly!!!
