You will never convince the organizers with that argument.
We are talking big bucks here. If I had that kind of money I would
not risk it on semantics.

Somewhere I saw this problem solved by restricting it to "intermittent
burning" or intermittint firing or something like that. This would allow
anything except a turbine or a steam engine (almost). Now all you have to do
is sell this to the organizers.

I'll tell you I would have to have something in writing guaranteeing we could
run for five years before I would risk a 1/4 of a million.

Guys;

Would somebody please tell me WHERE in my plan to "SNEER The Reno Racers", I have stipulated PARTICIPATING in them????....As usual the dreaded "Wantingtorunsanslegs" decease, emerges and takes over.

This simply started as a folded FLAT balloon, in this case my plan:

The best, CHEAPEST and SAFEST way to get the "Bangers" to take a serious look at the Rotary, is to SHAMEFULLY and UN-OFFICIALLY beat the winning Speed/Time in "what-e-ver class we choose", on a closed course, at an Airport of our choosing.
FWIW, I'm known in my field for doing this repeatedly and successfully, no different than a lot of "Do-Ers out there. A good parallel example is: Burt SNEERING nasa by Manning space on a PEANUTS budget in short time compared to nasa's magnum budget and timeline....In my present assignment which has the BIGGEST Budget I've ever been given, (Beyond your wildest imaginations) I'm saving tons of Millions of dollars and have even personally waved payment of "Milestone Bonus" (Every little bit helps) :) ....Enough "Horn Blowing", let's move on.

Then we begin INFLATING the balloon, before it has even been UNFOLDED.

Finally after it's fully INFLATED, it's bursted with a pin, and to add insult to injury, a DULL pin is employed.

FORGET RENO!!!.....It's a "Nocturnal Emission" for all of us......It's expecting a TIRED Dog to chase his Tail at an ambient temperature of 120 degF......NOBODY will fund this UNLESS they are very familiar with the Rotary and see NONE, ZERO, risk factors in liability and business matters, not to mention that they must at least like Aviation.

Butch

I agree.
