It\'s alarmingly bumpy, you\'ve got to wonder if it would go quicker on a smooth track.

Thats what a lot of the ozzies have been saying about it, they want over in oz so it can really show its potential.
 
aparently his 60ft was rubbish compared to what they normally are so hes concentrating on that first before going any faster. but the engine wasnt even on level 11! and the motor didnt even have anything wrong with it being held at 10,000 rpm in 1st gear!

I just saw in a linked video on youtube.  Weird that you don\'t see more drag rails with rotaries.

i think their is one in the states, sounds like hell unleashed on earth!! Runs 7s i think!!!!
 
im sure they will get low 6\'s with a rail, maybe into the 5s as they will hook up like nobodies business, but just need that extra power at the top end.
 
iv always wondered if anyone has tried running a rotary on nitro?! some crazy HP numbers would be reached then!!!!!

There\'s one claiming to on youtube.  But the only footage is of a rotary with a supercharger idling.  I\'d imagine a rotary on nitromethane would be a powerful but short-lived beast.

It would be worth it though. Needs to be really high compression to ignite the nitro though
