Hi Paul,

I just read an article on the Reno Races in Machine Design.  They state that
the only limitation in the Unlimiteds is that it has to be a piston engine.
Is this in fact true?  I was kind of looking forward to "Le Mans-ing" the
Reno Races (as a group of rotary enthusiasts,of course)

This could be true. Perhaps in the Sportman's class the rule wording
may be different. Such as; "no turbines or turbo jets".
Next October at the Shady Bend flyin in Florida we are organizing our own
race for rotary powered airplanes. We will allow piston engines
to compete.

I am sure that if you asked them to allow a Wankel they would say OK
however, if you say rotary, they woud suspect you were trying to
get a turbine "sleeper" into the race. - Vance
