Members of the Rocket Racing League (RRL™) can race high performance cars around a ground track. This three-dimensional track will host manned, rocket-powered airplanes racing on a three-dimensional track which reaches into the sky. Initially, the track is planned to extend one mile vertically, two miles down-track and one-half mile in the cross-plane direction. Virtual race tracks are displayed to both spectators and pilots. They are governed by a series of GPS designated waypoints which shape the closed circuit track. Spectators experience the close-in roar of rocket power as clusters of aircraft compete for the purse.

Headquartered in Las Cruces, New Mexico, the Rocket Racing League will operate its business and all events and efforts within the guidelines of the Federal Aviation Administration and state and local authorities. The RRL has established a governing body to set all specifications for the X-Racers, drivers, and race rules. These rules and regulations will be reviewed on a yearly basis by the RRL’s board and teams and made available to the public.
