book review: "Street Rotary" by Mark Warner

chickenwafer · 06-19-2009, 12:40 AM

I thought it was a good book. The history was nice and learned a lot of things I didn't know. I wish it would covered RX-8 and Renesis info a bit more, but oh well

I guess I am extremely bias on this one. Ok, its not a kenichi style book but for most thats a brain burner of a book. I read it aleast twice a year and I think it has taken years off my life......

Mark is a great guy and a freakin talented writer. He did a great job on this book way more organized and indepth than I would expect when trying to reach a broad audience with such a thing like rotaries.

I'll bet you are biased! Seemed like half the photos in the book had the caption "Courtesy Arizona Rotary Rockets"

OOPS!! Did you not want anyone to know that?

You are not that short Glenn. Well, maybe when you are standing next to Tom you look dwarfed. But then again, anyone standing next to Tom looks short.
