V8 Chainsaw (Predator) by Rotax Robert

You know what makes Rotax so different to the other V8 racers out there?

His attitude, ever since I have know Robert he has always been cool, calm and collective

When there's split seconds literally between being first or forgotten I'd say that calculating calm mind is paying off.

Many more winnings to you Robert.

Have you stripped that engine down since building it?

Thanks for the kind words, I can't take all the credit tho, I keep damn good company around me at all times.

Never had to tear her down yet. realy when you think about it, it takes along time to put hours of use on this thing when your doing it 1 second at a time.
