Once again the rotary is excluded from competition

The rotor covers the ports so use the rotor and mill out to meet weight spec.
Done
Well I built another racer last night that I threw together in very little time using a Lot of "Zip Tie Engineering" (Copyright 2012 Cobra Kai Racing all rights reserved). I rolled it on the table and it was much slower than our other car. Much slower. Like it had the parking brake set.
I should have tossed it in the garbage, but instead I decided to roll it across the carpet ....... and it flew. I tested it again, and it flew. If this race is on the carpet in the banquet hall, this racer has a chance (assuming it rolls down the ramp with any velocity, which is iffy). Can we carpet the ramp? Kidding. :)
A WRX or STi valve cover would be perfect heavy and a very low profile.
I've added the times and awards to the first post.
One stock, One slammed. Both TR7
Can my valve cover have a belly pan? Or is that too much modification?
That's fine, I look forward to seeing it!
Went to this VW show today and they had valve cover racing.
With air-cooled VWs, the valve covers are itty bitty.
I was at a swap meet today and found a Buick straight 8 valve cover. Sadly, I have no venue in which to compete.

I have some wheels. You may have for a beer
Cool.
Mine is done!! Basically unbolted it and cleaned up. Put a belly pan on with wheels. Get home remove Ian and put back on the car with a new gasket.

I recognize that valve cover....
It cleaned up nice.
I built mine yesterday, now I'm ready to win.
LOL I still haven't built one! 
Maybe I'll get around to it on the car ride down to Gainesville.
My 3-year old and I built the Litte Lamb-orghini entry from 100% borrowed or stolen components. I will have it in the wind tunnel this afternoon.
^ That is sweet. ^ Love the wheels.
Tom, have you decided how the eliminations will work?
Is it something like Loose 3 and you are out? I have not done something like this since I was 8, and I was not paying much attention then, so I'm a bit lost. (I would say to borrow the Martin timing equipment, but odds are that we would all drive under the light. :)
Will there be a concours component to the valve cover race or is it strickly a performance challenge?
we can do an award for the best looking car---but for scoring, the fastest cover wins...
Had a mock up for 1st thru 5th trophies ready
So did wide & low work best or skinny & tall?
And the winners are.....?
