Sean,

I posted this on page 2; you might have missed it:

Speaking of rotay Mazda's and "L-O-U-D"....

I was at a Div VII Points Meet at Sears Point (Infineon?) about 8 or 10 years ago... not sure about the date, and they were running a Breakout Eliminator called "SUPER", which had a 7.90 dial...

Somebody had one of these 2-rotor Wankels in a Rear Engine dragster chassis and had a G.M.C. 4-71 roots-style blower bolted to the side of the engine, driving it with a conventional Gilmer belt.

Every time it made a pass, everything stopped... people would stand, dead-in-their tracks... it was like two Fuelers running at once...

The poor guy in the Big Block Chevy rear-engine dragster in the next lane couldn't hear his engine at all, I'm sure, because all I could hear in the stands, was that blown Mazda...

WAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....................

Must have been a new car, because he broke out with a 7.68 (!), as I recall...

It was awesome...

I don't know how I missed that, thanks Bill. That is definitely the same car, It was running a roots blower. It looked funny with this big super charger sticking up from this little tiny engine.

Anyone else out there know this car? Is it still around? I'd imagine it would a really cheap, low maintenance way of going fast.
