With the theme of ALIEN INVASION, racers had some out-of-this-world fun! Twelve teams competed against each other for glory, bragging rights, and prizes. This year, a brand new team to Rocket Race sped past some last year's winners to claim the first place prize of $100, with a time under five hours. Second place was awarded $30, and third place ended up with a bucket of aliens!
