Now this is Podracing!

Just another short news entry.

http://www.rocketracingleague.com/

Go on, you know you want to start building one in your backyard to enter in the big Boonta Eve Classic race

Some Highlights:

Intial X-Racers will hit beyond 320 mph (Podracers hit around 400-600 btw)

Enough fuel for 3 to 4 laps before a pit stop.

Pilots will navigate the course through the use of a GPS system and a heads-up display. This virtual course may be supplemented with real obstacles such as inflatable pylons and balloons, as well as spotlights and lasers during nighttime races.

The Rocket Racing League plans to have a debut exhibition race at the X PRIZE Cup event in September 2006 in New Mexico.

The Rocket Racing League is currently hiring and is especially interested in executive talent with experience in the car race industry. If you feel you have a background that's a good fit, we'd like to hear from you.
Anyone?

date Posted: Oct 03, 2005 10:17 PM Well Luke does say "It'll be just like Beggar's Canyon back home!" refering to his racing his T-16 Skyhopper, that's close enough, even if you were kidding
