Is the Rocket Racing League no more?

We haven’t heard any updates since they made it a few air shows this summer. A google news search for rocket racing league turns up nothing new, the company’s own press room hasn’t had anything spicy since March. What’s going on?

Three teams, two teams, one team. No one knows any more.

While the Red Bull Racing is taking off, with big time commercial spots, while the RRL isn’t seeing any action.

If anyone has any information please let us know.

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.

Have you ever wanted to be part of history? Do you have a couple million dollars laying around or know how to fly a fighter plane?

If you answered yest to any of those questions then this might be the opportunity you’re looking for. You can form your very own Rocket Racing League Team and be part of the inaugural season of the RRL.
