The driver hits a number of cones (and one hits back) at the SCCA Nationals, but boy does this thing scream:

I'm guessing that's a rotary engine?

I'm with Gerard....rotary. Does make for some lovely noise! Looks like that nasty old Spridget understeer is giving him fits. Was that the SCCA thing I just missed out on at Lincoln Nebraska??

Yep, it was a rotary at the Lincoln SCCA Solo Nationals. Many years ago I saw a rotary stock Bugeye that was lowered a bit and on Minilites. Funny to see how quick it accelerated.

Just watched it again. What a cone killer!!
