Rocket Racing League Presentation September 28, 2007

Rich, I briefly mentioned the RRL at breakfast and thought you might want to pass this on to others in the group that have an aviation interest...sorry I don't have their email addresses. The below link to the current issue of Air and Space Magazine has a good article covering more of the specifics on the rocket, airframe and race dynamics...thought you would enjoy. Please feel free to pass on to any others with an aviation interest. A little short notice, but anyone in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area on the 28th would be welcome to Jim's presentation. WRB

Hello DFW friends,

Here is a Rocket Racing League update.
1. The first Mark-1 X Racer has completed static testing and will start flight testing this month.
2. The 5th Rocket Racing Team will be publicly announced at the X-Prize Cup on October 27th at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
3. The RRL continues to raise capital. This month, a major internet entrepeneur in the northwest, purchased a substantial amount of RRL stock.
