That was the truck that Skip built at Revolution Rotary. They used it as a parts hauler and to pull the race car to the track. Nobodies heard from Skip in a long time (We sure miss him over here). I heard he moved to Pa., but it's not confirmed. I'm not sure if he took the truck or not, so it may be floating around still. He had a partner named Greg who may have kept it. if so, it's probably sitting in his garage rotting. He got pretty sour on rotaries when skip left, and sold the entire inventory to someone on the west side (so he said). This was all about 5 years ago, so good luck following that trail now.

"And so it begins from here. Once the new facilities are organized there will be so much more information and pictures listed here under Innovations. There will be several fronts going at the same time, but we will have the transmission and its upgrades coming next, and then the motor build and modifications along with an in-depth look at the anti-detonation modification that comes from Skip Gorman and KDR. Also will be pics of the paint work and of course the dual radiator as a finished product. So please stay tuned and we will try to add something new every week. "
found this quite interesting
Skip Gorman AKA “Skip"
Skip brings 35 yrs of rotary engine experience to the RotaMax team. His dream, commitment, and passion had been to see rotary engines in all kinds of applications. With RotaMax, he's making his dreams come true. As the engine program manager at RotaMax, Skip tests and tunes every engine to perfection. Like everyone else on the team, Skip says he is building a bike after riding the RotaBike! He was astounded to learn that it can go from concept to test ride in four weeks! That will be a reality soon!

Thats a real shame... I don't remember the guys name (older guy with grey hair) but he was very nice... No one was looking at the truck, so i went over and to my amazment the holy grail was under the hood. He jumped at the chance to fire it up when i asked if he would start it.... about 5 seconds everyone within earshot was surrounding the truck. The conversion looked top notch and it sounded great.
Anyhow I never really got to talk to him about the setup
and now , like the holy grail... sounds like it is gone and lost forever
