ATL - MAJOR ROTARY EVENT - 3 Rotor Renesis @ Road Atlanta

We DEFINITELY have to check this out. Someone have a schedule of when this car is running?? Didn't see anything on their website.

http://rotarynews.com/node/view/564

"BK Motorsports and the 3 Rotor RENESIS rotary engine will make their official race debuts at the Sportsbook.com Grand Prix of Atlanta, at the famed Road Atlanta track, April 15-17, 2005"

They plan to run the full ALMS schedule, minus of course the 12 Hours of Sebring which currently has 90 minutes left.

And if you're talking about Road Atlanta in particular, the race is on Sunday, April 17th.

I had planned on camping out at this one, but a friend choose Saturday as the day he's getting married....bastard. I'll try to make it Sunday. LMP 2, or the old 675 class. Supposedly not the fastest class but cool they are running again none the less.

It depends on who you talk to. It's a peripheral port engine, so take that for what it's worth each time you hear "RENESIS" and this car mentioned in the same sentence.

I wish I could have made it, and considered it for a bit, but with Rotary Revolution next weekend, I just have too much happening. I have to settle for TV coverage and checking the website for live timing and scoring during practice and testing sessions.

Awesome

Sweet, 2nd in class... not a bad start. I heard cosmo say its all about small bites while another pro corrected him and said, this was a big one.



Lot of RX-7s there. Caught a red 3rd gen, a hbm 2nd gen like mine, 2 red s4s, etc.

Yep they put this car together in 3 weeks and took 2nd, thats pretty damn good IMO as they had just finished the car tuesday. Had a great time out at the track today, so many great people are associated with this car. They should do rather well this season once the tunning is done.

Me and SPOautos just came back from ALMS. I was working for RXtuner and had the press pass.

PureMdMa let me use his fancy digicam and took 300 pics! PureMdMa, let me know if you have pics downloaded on to your computer. Hope we didn't loose it!

Hey guys, I just finished my web site on this race. Thought you may want to check it out. I uploaded 254 images (first link on the home page). Of course the Mazda was the excitement for me but there are a lot of other great cars as well. I had photo access so I got some really close images. Also a video of interest may be the Charles Hill NOS run video (last link on the home page).

Enjoy!
