Subject: Rotary Dragsters?

At a drag racers old time reunion today, I asked the attendees
if they have ever seen a nitro burning rotary dragster.
Some had no idea what I was talking about, but after a short
dissertation, no one had ever seen one.
My question is has anyone built one?
If so, it must not have been sucessful, or we may have heard
about it.
The big guns are getting about 14hp/cu in,
and based on displacement, I suspect the rotary might do better.

Mazdatrix has documented the development of a 3-rotor drag racer on
their website. Don't know if it burns nitro as a fuel, however.
