Photos are in from the Midwest Rotary Rally (MRR)





This certainly was a dream come true for me, and we all owe Jim Downing a huge thanks for letting us come into his pits, ogle the car, and answer questions. Especially considering that theyhad just finished qualifying and had a ton of work to do to get ready for the race the next day. Here are some pics:













Some of the MRR attendees:

Bodywork:









The office:









She wouldn't let me any closer unless I bought her dinner :-)









Note the 3 plugs per rotor housing:

Just saw this beast run at the ALMS race at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The sound is totally different than anything else on the track.............I think this combination is back on the track due to a rules change that is allowing the rotarys to run again? Any info here?
