Yes, speeddemon32 is the guy who says "let's go here," and we all say "sounds like a good idea, let's go!" But it's a very laid-back environment, just a group of friends.

El,

ROTORLUTION is the name we started for my race team back in 2000. Jesse and a few others were a part of my crew. to be exact Jesse was the "Technical data specialist" he was the guy that knew stuff about my car, that others didnt. he knew what worked with what and why. what we could do to the car in the future and why. I was obviously the owner/driver. and a guy named robbie was the crew cheif. he pretty much worked on the car full time for a few months there when it was being built. If I wasnt around he would try to make decissions about the car for me (as with Jesse). it really was a team effort to make that car a reality.

to make a long story short, (I will tell it all to you when you come out here.) the race car didnt work out, so ROTORLUTION racing is now pretty much our "car club" and our "race team". I still have an RX-8 that I take to the autocross, and an RX-2 that I intendt o turn into a street monstor and an weekend drag racer. Jesse as you know will also have a fast car for the track. others in the RX8 forum race with me at the auto cross as with scotty305 on this forum.

as for the meets, ROTORLUTIUON puts the meets on (meaning myself, Jesse, Scotty, and all the other ROTORLUTION group), you are welcome to come hang out and go on a drive. this does not mean you have to be apart of ROTORLUTION nor do you have to run a banner. we just enjoy getting together and meeting fellow rotary people. should you feel you are a part of the family you are welcome to run the banner and join the group. but is by all means not required or even asked.

but to answer your question woth a really short answer. yes Jesse and myself are pretty much the ones who run it. Scotty was also a big part of it.

was that to much info?

also go here if your interested in seeing some other pictures of our meets. the RX-8 forum is kept up a little more then this one right now due to the lack of sevens latley, and the fact that you can edit WAY old post on the 8 forum.

I still have the block to the one that I took out. I was told the old motor has 50/70 compression. That one I would like to rebuild, with some porting would be nice if you know what I mean.

i told you a long time ago i have that 88 pullout from the vert i did a cosmo swap in. $500 for that and the tranny. all it needs to be complete is an alternator-which you already have.

you're not gonna get anyone to rebuild yours for less than $500.
