info on Red Bull Air Race frequencies? (Indy)

I went the RBAR at Texas Motor Speedway last season. We didn't take any geek hats (radios and headsets) and I'm glad we didn't. The announcers were easy to hear and you could hear when each plane was cleared onto the course.

It's similar to OSH. They don't publish the airshow freqs.

Just seems unsafe to have a bunch of people on handhelds that could be keying up to say "Murica, F yeah!" during an airshow.

I was thinking about this as well. How do shows prevent knuckleheads from keying the mic (either intentionally or accidentally) during performances. Certainly a safety concern. Maybe they use the military frequencies?
Most "NASCAR" style scanners are 1-way, but I'm sure there are plenty of guys with 2 way handhelds.
 
Liveatc.net not withstanding... the 32 page NOTAM for OSH did not include the information (and I think for good reason).
