The first exhibition race of the new Rocket Racing league went off last week at the Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wisc. with one small hitch: One of the two planes originally scheduled to fly never got Federal Aviation certification and remained grounded

This could be fun. I am not a NASCAR fan, but I can appreciate the impressive engineering (esp. around the artificial, field-leveling constraints). But at the end of the day, that's a race in a circle with cars. I can drive a car, maybe not racecar driver well, but it is not that exotic. I can't drive a rocket ship.
