One advantage of entering the OSH race is the EAA will publicize
the rotary for free. They publish a magazine each year called the
AirVentureCup with thumbnail entries for each contestant, the rules
and the race results. The more rotary powered entries we have the
better. Any money donated to the Everett Hatch Memorial Fund will
be used to up the current $500 cash prize. Past winners have been Tracy
Crook twice. The last time at the Sun N Fun 100 where he averaged
209 MPH in his 13B powered RV4 from a standing start. In the last Sun
N Fun 100 race he averaged 216 MPH with an RX8 engine but did not
qualify for the prize because the bar had been raised to 220 MPH at
that time.
The rules for the rotary powered OSH 500 mile race are; you must average
220 MPH and be the fastest rotary engine powered airplane in the race.
The EAA rules are attached.
Here is the address to send money.
