Default Rotary powered dragster ---- another pic added

Ok, here is the deal. A buddy of mines walks into the hobbyshop where I work and shows me his new creation. Its a rotary powered, supercharged dragster. I didnt have a cam handy so I took a couple of pics with my camphone. The car hasnt ran yet and he says he really doesnt care how fast it is, hes just looking for the whole WOW factor. I took 2 pics of the car and sent them to my email addy but only one has come thru so far, just as soon as I get the other one, I'll post it. Once again, I dont know how fast it is and it does not belong to me.

He's made a few changes since the pics I posted in the other thread. He had to ditch the aluminum fuel tank, cause he said it was rusting out. Last night he added the speedometer and the servos <spell? so the car is looking more complete. The only problem we're having now, is that he spent so much money on the car that he ran out of money to buy the starter.

Ohh! he also added all the fuel lines so it's 98% ready for the first......... startup/pinging/detonation/Apex seals flying out the exhaust........LOL

JK: Im sure she'll run like a champ. We'll have the video camera ready
