The Rocket Racing League, which still reports an early 2008 race schedule, has added a third team to the mix and is considered a house team (being inside people and funding) to the Rocket Racing League.

The team is called Thunderhawk Racing, no doubt after the first RRL X-Racer plane, recently deemed the Thunderhawk after a public naming contest was complete. The team pilot will be Nick Mowery, a veteran pilot living in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Rocket Racing League is planning on having one more in-house team with a name and pilot to be announced over the next year. That will add to the only other two teams to join up so far. There has been no indication from news coverage of the Rocket Racing League as to how many teams will be needed to have a full race schedule but we forsee a short season if there are only four teams on board.

Hopefully the RRL can get a few more going over the next 6 months and have enough for an early race season next year.
