Midwest Rotary Rally IV is the Midwest's premier gathering of rotary-powered vehicles, including RX-8s, RX-7s, and others such as Mazda's REPU (Rotary Engine Pick Up).

The coordinating clubs (Chicago, WI, and Northstar) have selected August 21 - 22, 2004 as the date.

If any other Midwest clubs would like to help coordinate this event with us, we would love to have you.

We will be going to Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI, for the Road America 500. The feature race is the American LeMans Series (APMS) race, which was entered last year by Jim Downing's 4-rotor car. No final word on them running this year, but we are hopeful.

The race weekend also features the tar Mazda rotary-powerd open wheel cars, now with Renesis engines.

The SPEED World Challenge GT and Touring series will also run that weekend, and with some luck we my see Pettit Racing's FD (keep your fingers crossed!) in the GT class. Tri-Point and other tuners will be running Mazda Proteges in the Touring class.

And we are planning even better Tech Sessions than last year, so stay tuned for that announcement.

Please drop me a line if yu would like more ino, or for more on last year's MRR, see the web site:
