Now on the verge of the ARRC I can share a little info on my car. I had intended to get a significant amount of testing in prior to the race, but fate was not on my side.
It turns out that some 'salvage' motors are more salvage than others. After several false starts, I headed out for the first time to test at Summit Point several weeks ago. The results are chronicled here:

Back at home I began the search for a new powerplant. In short order George Dean set me up (Thanks George!), and two weeks ago, I preparred to head to the Goblin's Go weekend at VIR for a final test.
As fate would have it, our 3 month drought ended and it rained over an inch Wed-Friday at VIR. So, my final test day outing was a washout. With rain in the forecast through Saturday morning, and FB qualifying at 8:30 am and racing around noon Saturday, I stayed home.
So, tomorrow morning I will head to the ARRC with my unproven car to face some of the stiffest competition I have ever seen. It is a daunting prospect, but I haven't been this excited about a race in a long time.
