I got that email also. You guys that have not done so, you need to sign up at rotarynews.com, there is some good stuff there!

The guy in the pink shirt is Kobyson, he is the one that was in charge of Mazdamotorsports when the green and orange 787b won LeManns! The tall balding guy is Jim M, the owner of Racing Beat. The next little guy (4th guy from the left) is one of the original Mazda guys(cant remember his name) that was with the rotary program when Wankle signed the rights over to Mazda!! I met all of these guys at Sevenstock this year!!!! I have all of their signatures on pictures and books

Yes SevenStock is just getting better and better! That Daytona winning car has been fully restored and they fired it up..sweeeet sounding P-Ports. I got both Koby-san and Takata-san to autograph under the hood of my car while at Racing Beat. They are fine gentlemen, always giving of their time.
SevenStock IS Rotary heaven! Highly recommend any and all here to go to SS6! Many thanks to Bern making things happen
