I was pleased to read the news about Team Nish Motorsports ,they will be racing with a naturally aspirated twin rotor Wankel engine featuring nitrous oxide injection,replacing the Chevy V8.It's a fantastic change and I wanted to send my best wishes to this special team.

Marlo ran a blown alcohol Mazda rotary at Bonneville.  Even he hated the sound of it!!

When the pistons & rods keep failing to stay inside the engine, this could be an option I suppose! :roll:

You will need ear plugs and ear muffs to be anywhere near these engines but they do haul the mail.

When we raced against those rotary's in IMSA back in the 1980's they made your ears bleed...
