I really know squat aboit hummer engines, but it seems to me that the engines of any sort should have equivalent displacements. For instance, my 302 Fors has well, 302 CID, right? Well a hummer engin

Perhaps the distinction should be reciprocating engines verses rotating engines. Then the Wankel engines would run with the turbines. Rich Fox

To be candid with you a rotary is not like a turbine in that it does not purely rotate. The eccentric shaft gets it forces from the rotor going around a statioary gear in a wobble sort of motion and

Another question, exactly which cars would this bring back out? Do you want to race against Racing Beat in a lower class? I can see the cars that would come back if the new category is put into place

Hello Dan. I believe Dave Dahlgren has a point. Back when my '77 rule book was published with the "EV" formula, even Ferrari didn't have a street legal 2 Liter 240 HP motor like the Honda S2000. I kn

Dan, you're a good man! I'm not concerned with this issue at all, (I have enough trouble keeping a flathead running, much less a motor where the pistons go in circles instead of up and down.) but I'v

All this talk of rotaries reminds me of an ad I saw in our local classifieds for a mini hydroplane with an NSU Prinz rotary engine. I still wish I'd gotten the thing. I don't know why - just like old
