This is really old news, but I ran a rotary RX3 station wagon at the lakes
for a couple of years in the early 80's - Paul worked on the engine and
really started getting some speed out of it - but he was nervous about the
way it handled and decided to redesign the front end - that was about 1989
- and it's still on blocks - but we also have a new engine (a peripheral
port engine that was originally used in IMSA racing) that we hope to try
out in a lakester.
