While my fledgling shop was being established, I was contracted by multiple Chrysler, Chevrolet and Mazda dealership networks in Portland and became trained in SET (Specialized Electronics Training). In order for dealers to get their new computer controlled cars in 80s and 90s they needed a certified SET tech on site, That was me for one month every year.

Thruout the years I have grown to dislike over engineered electronics and often refer to new cars as PFM cars (Pure Flippin Magic)

                        -Electronically controlled engineering marvels!

By the late 80s the only dealership I continued to service and retain was Portlands' most exclusive collectable car dealer. They had an entire collection nationally known as Tindles' pre owned cars on Canyon Road. Bob and Terry Tindle became very good customers and they had me driving on any given week a Pantera to lunch, a Tri Power Pontiac to dinner and a Split window home- Cobras were fun as well but squirlly.

Meanwhile Vollstedt was storing the 200MPH record breaking 1980 Red white and Blue March Cosworth driven to a closed curcuit record the Tom Sneva Texaco Star in my shop and I was dabbling in the formula atlantic series fielding cars with rookies who went on to retain indy rides.

My attention to build rotary engine exclusivly was developed during the late 80s' and I developed a blend of parts from OEM Mazda and Atkins Rotary, combined with a better than Mazda standards specifications.

I experimented with a bunch of port designs before settling on a reliable port design to produce a strong and smooth performing rotary engine.

You will not find a showroom at Kurt Robertsons' nor will you pay for one.
