An incorrect level penalty ended the day for Team Chambliss in the Round of 14, where Kirby faced Martin Sonka of the Czech Republic.
“I was really happy with the run overall, minus the incorrect level. It was a silly mistake I made because there wasn’t any reason to turn through that first gate, but the net time was the fastest I’d run in all the training sessions. Some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you. Today the bear got us,” explains Kirby.
Moving forward, Kirby and the team plan to push even harder and hope for a podium in Vegas. The plane will look much different and hopefully be noticeably faster. Spectators can expect to see a new canopy, cowling, and turtle deck at the final race of the 2015 Red Bull Air Race World Championship!
