at the risk of sounding insensitive...

IS there going to be a birmingham AL branch of the augusta down south blow 'em up crew? (those guys will know what Im talking about)

What are you doing with it now? New engine? Please done part out a good car just because it needs an engine. BTW I can build you an engine for around $1200 or $1400 SP'd, and partial delivery and installation are also negotiable. www.rotaryresurrection.com email me if you need any help with it man.

SC does not BLOW-UP Rotaries! Some may expire way past their expected lifetime (249,972 miles to be exact!)

Most ANYONE (Excluding the Augusta Crew) can build an engine that will last in a 1/4 mile!

Well see about that soon john

Autocrossers are only scared to take it to the tarmac ill take it to the course any day of the week.... you just bring it to the track for a little 1320 action and well see whats up.... Draggin is not the best thing to do but it sure does get addictive... I like autoxin too but my thing is seeing the 1320 time slip
