smogfest

 

I had originally wanted to call it Meeting of the Minds, but some people talked me out of it. I thought it sounded kinda cool though. 7fest isn't bad either.

 

i was gonna say there is a rotorfest on the east coast but figured wth... who cares if there's 2 rotorfests in the same year.

 

why not wankel fest

 

uhhh..
rotorville..
rotorvillion
rotortastic
wankelville
rotary island
wankel vision

hmm yes all of those stink

 

I didn't realize it until after this was already posted up on 4 different forums. I didn't figure it would matter either, but the East Coast guys didn't like us using that name so they asked me if I would change it. They were cool about it so we'll change it.

Wankel Fest is pretty cool too.

 

im going to head up friday around noon-ish if anyone else wants to roll.



i hope your kidding, that sounds ridiculously gay

 

Which one is rediculously gay?

 

so no rx8's then?

 

the mind one

 

Yeah, I'm hoping that the RX-8's will show. That was the only thing about not calling it 7fest. RX-8's still sport a Wankel.

 

coooooool wankelville.... hahaha but yah wankelfest!! iono i like those two

 

i thought the rx8 was renesis?

 

Wankel is the guy who thought of the rotary engine

 

maybe there should be a poll?

 

smogfest is my personal favorite

 

Well similiar rotary engine designs date back as far as I think the 17th century but Wankel was the first to give a feasible design.

 

and Walter Froede(never mentioned that i see...) is the only reason the rotary engine ever even took a usable form. otherwise the rotary engine would be a massive unit which would require full disassembly to change the spark plugs and would be difficult to bolt to any practical transmission.

the original rotary engine had a stationary shaft and the rotors were positioned on this shaft, the bathtub shaped housings were what spun around, opposite what we have now.

 

how bout just rotor fest instead of rotary fest...

 

wait a minute so the housings spun around the motor???

 

YES.

 

Preston, you didn't read where I said that I was asked to change the name of the event since there is already a Rotorfest in existance?

 

I like the name "Wankelville" or "Wankeltown"

Could make a song like "Funkytown"


Won't you take me to
Wankel town!

 

Lol

 

sausage fest 2006? lol
