OR 1st Annual Wankel Workshop 6/23

I know this is very last minute notice, but it was only finalized recently.

1st Annual Wankel Workshop
June 23rd from 10am-2pm with a q&a afterwords

Kurt Robertson is putting on this event on at his house. the plan is to teach rotary enthusiasts more about rebuilding engines and general wankel information. there will be a few guests there with a very long history with rotary engines. John Skagon of rotaries plus will be there, as well as Jim Miller from Jim Miller Mazda. these guys have assembled thousands of engines and are some of the rotarded people out there. Rumor has it that Dave Atkins will be coming down with the Cosmo Race car as well

please RSVP with Kurt Robertson 503-829-6054 and he will provide you with and address for the event.

Sounds like fun. I haven't seen Kurt for quite some time.
I just might have to swing by that day.

I wouldn't let Kurt touch my engine or car,his engines don't last,he uses used parts,his porting looks like a 4 year old,no not even that nice.you can't learn anything from him except how to do things wrong.

bad porting was all the further i let it get after a year of waiting.that was before pineapple was in the area.i have purchased several cars from dissatisfied customers of his that had given up on trying to find a reputable engine builder.the one that sticks out in my mind was a lady who's engine lasted 7 miles,she called him for a warranty,he said sorry.i could go on and on but you get the picture i hope.

Decided not to go. Wife and I were watching Olympic trials out of Eugene this morning.
I'll try to make the second annual Wankel workshop.
Let us know how it was though for sure.

Hope you had enough of a turn out to do it again.

Kurt is having another one this year in June, June 21 & 22, that is a Friday & Saturday. Best to give him a call on the above phone number (in the first post), he has a lot of the slots filled this year already.
