Nominate your favorite rotary at DGRR

Nominate your favorite vehicle from Deals Gap Rotary Rally!

This will also be the April car, bike, or truck of the month!

butterfly21kaye · 05-04-2011, 12:07 PM

I nominate the Defined Autoworks RX-7. And its 18-wheeler deserves an honorable mention for making it through the Dragon.

There really should have been an award for the guy that drove that truck through the dragon. That truck was HUGE! He's my hero!

David Garfinkles....
Beatifull FD

JhnRX7 · 05-04-2011, 07:29 PM

I nominate lwnslw's MB FD....

IMO lwnslw should have won something at that car show. His FD is so clean pictures cannot do it justice.

feel free to add more shots, this was the first one I found.

edit: more pics...

I nominate The Cafe Hercule bike brought by Rotary Recycle (Jess, Jeff, and Zach). Not only is it a beautiful bike but its something that many rotary enthusiasts didn't know existed till seeing one at Deals Gap. It seemed to be a crowd favorite so it seems fit to be nominated. Plus I know how much time and effort they put into it. I'll post pics here shortly when I find some good ones.

+1. It'd be good to see the bikes get some recognition. Last year when 1 of 33 Van Veen's ever produced, in immaculate condition, showed up I fully expected it to win the Old School Rotary class, however it was sadly overlooked for any award. As was Zach's RE-5 that had been meticulously refurbished.

As for this year, the Cafe Hercules was very well put together and, in my opinion, easily the most unique vehicle there. So it gets my nomination.

Gordon Monsen's 3 rotor NA machine!

+1, That was my favorite car too. A unique and classy work of art & engineering. If Mazda had produced an FD to compete directly with the high buck european GTs (think Aston, Maserati, etc.), that's probably what the end result would have looked like. Loved the intake manifold and exhaust headers.
