Piston vs. Rotor West Coast Style

ok so in the works i have a class being arranged to have a piston vs rotor at the upcoming IFO event in fontana.
I spoke directly with the owner of IFO and he gave me the go ahead with it.
i will set up the class and the cash purse.
so basically it will be a run what you got set up.
i dont care if your 1/2 or 3/4 chassis
i dont care if your on a standard transmission or g force/jerico
i dont care if your on alky or gas
if you pass tech your good to go

Shouldn't it be~ fastest Rotor qualifier would pair up vs the slowest piston qualifier & vice verse?? Final should always be the 2 fastest cars of the division, there has to be @ least 1 qualifing pass to test n tune for the track.... Just sayin'

I don't understand how there can be hundreds of built rotaries at seven stock and local car shows and 2 cars on race day

Wheres all the so-cal rotary shops and engine builders at? What about all the running race cars sitting in garages? FAIL!

The pist-on guys have been working on their cars for the event, I read allot hype when the challenged came up and now what? good luck to rotaries racing.
