    Thx Gents.

    Wayne has offered to stop by Saturday to help with some of the heavy lifting.

    Brian, thx for the offer, but don't worry about bringing the hoist and stand. I have Todd's stuff right now if needed.

    Marshall, sounds like a plan. If I can't get my junk running, I will tow it there.

    As it is, I will be challenged to get a dyno done. I hope to get there early Friday to break in the motor AND transmission. If I can break it in, then I should be able to get a clean dyno for the race.

    Todd

    Thx for asking. Both Rob and Wayne came by on Saturday and helped me get the motor loaded. Most of the motor is re-assembled now, save for a few items. Rob is going to stop by tonight to help me load up the transmission and hook up the driveshaft.

    Not everything will be done the way I want (no oil sump or cooler right now). But it should be ready for the race. I plan to start it up Thursday and run it as per break in. On Friday, I am taking the car to TWS and will try to complete the break in. If I can get enough run time at TWS, I will attempt to get the dyno done there.

    If there are major issues with the car at TWS, I am going to pack up my shit and go home.
