Fourth Quarter Exhibition Tour Roundup
Excitement from fans and sponsors alike has kept the Rocket Racing LeagueŽ in much demand for appearances throughout the US. Bringing a taste of what is to come to whet the appetites of all who are curious and eagerly anticipating rocket racing, the Rocket Racing LeagueŽ "road show" gave RRL the chance to be up close and personal with its loyal fans! From Oshkosh, Wisconsin to Anaheim, California and many other places in between, RRL exhibited the Mark-1 X-Racer prototype and had simulators available to allow fans to fly an X-Racer.
In late August, Rocket Racing LeagueŽ took part in the World Science Fiction Convention along with our partner XCOR Aerospace. Five thousand die-hard science fiction fans graced the Anaheim convention center and compared the Rocket Racing LeagueŽ races to the pod races in Star Wars.
