Airplane Racing - PDenbigh - 03-21-2006
A buddy sent this to me. This video is why no MM Member could ever be a pilot. G, can't you see us doing something like this?

Hahaha fond memories of impromptu races (like the race coming out of our dorm room that morning).

They had an article in Popular Mechanics a month or 2 ago. Seemed like a wild idea.

that totally reminds me of that one Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin is pretending he's an airline pilot racing another one...doing barrel rolls and dives and crap to beat the other guy to the runway :lol:

Oh the rocket plane racing league? Yeah that looks like a wild but cool concept. Don't know how entertaining to watch that could be but I like the concept.

Yea that was it, I think i'd have to be all watched via TV, that way they could overlay the 'track' on the screen so we could keep track (ha) of where they were going/who's in the lead. Probably suck to watch live.

I saw a plane race at an airshow years ago. Basically a big oval in the sky. It was pretty cool, not too hard to keep track of, but I really dont know how much pilot skill has to do with it. It certainly isnt 'rubbin is racin'

Here's the rocket plane racing Chad was talking about (I think):
