Default Rocket racing at Reno

Does anyone know much about these rocket powered planes that plan to
race at Reno? Are they the same as Rutan's EZE rocket? And can they
carry enough fuel to actually race around the pylons for several laps?
Sounds like it will be a really LOUD race.

I doubt it -- it would be about as interesting as watching paint dry.

We had a big discussion on this subject just a month ago...do a Google Groups
search under "Rocket Racing". Here's a typical posting:
