Can those who know enlighten the ones who don't?

What are the concerns with South Florida engines?
Are they home or "professional" built?

Thanks

IMHO, fla had a lot of development in rotories. maybe there are other places that did more development, but I dont know about them.

ISC, Speedsource, Petit, SAS, rototech, JR, NU racing, and others were building rotories for years.

maybe because in the islands rotories were the hot car, before the rx7 came out... dont know...

just know a lot of development went on down here.

seems like different regions, different cars dominate... why, well it maybe the tracks, but I think its the shops that suppor the racers.

why did syl (Speedsource#70) dominate arrc for years? well sure hes a great driver... but he also developed his on valving on shocks, camber, etc,etc... just like bsi dominated itb, and now sm.

just my opinion.... and yeah, some guys ported the motors... but that doesnt explain sarrc or arrc wins.

ISC is only one left playing w/ 1st gen's I know of today...

ITS is now dominated by 325's, and integras.. right?
