DBIGP...Kwame not there
Absent was Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and the boo's raining down from the grandstand as they did last year.
Talking with many race fans it was quite clear we we're all better off.
That aside the 2008 DBIGP was a great event much like the Red Bull Air Race held back in July.
The shuttle system seemed to work much better than last year in getting fans off the island.
Let's hope the Scott Fountain doesn't get all the copper stolen from it again this year.
The new fence set up (banners blocking view) seemed to streamline fans away from the fence line and direct them to the stands or chalets.
Not sure I'm a fan of this but it did stop people and boaters from enjoying the race from the fence line.
All in all it was a great event, it went over without a hitch and speaking with fellow media from around the world; they say Detroit came through with flying colors.
