    The only races I've watched with rotaries and pistons motors, the rotary cars dropped back about 5 places when the track went uphill

    I'm not gonna respond cause you obviously haven't a clue, do you really not know anything about racing or are you just being ignorant?

    Like I said, the races I've seen with both rotary cars and piston cars, the rotaries always dropped back when they had to go uphill. The commentator (sp?) said something to the effect of, "if you pay attention when the track goes uphill, you will notice the rotary powered cars always lose a couple places."

    I don't know what is ignorant about anything I said, except the plane crashing comment... but I was joking with that.
