Rocket races
« on: April 14, 2008, 12:45:38 PM »
Saw they are going to have rocket powered airplane races.  Looks like it would be interesting to watch.  Wonder if they are going to run a grand prix style of race or a single timed run like red bull does

Last I read, it was kind of a delayed grand-prix. Multiple guys on the course at once, but enough spacing to ensure no passing or collisions.

These are rocket powered Velocity's, btw, a popular homebuilt.
