I'm new to this whole "roll racing" thing and I have a quick question; at which point this week should I get nervous about the motor not being in the car? 
On a good note - BHT is there "supervising/overseeing" quite a bit, he's very helpful.

I would have gotten nervous as soon as he got near the car!
Never the less I'm sure your going to do very well! Just make sure you have a camera pointed behind you when your in front of him next weekend!

Alright boys, who's ready and who's not? I know Powell just made a big number on the dyno and Mike Colby's motor is still out. Bello dropped and now MBailey dropped. See you this Friday.

My apologies to those that I have Grudge Matches set up with, I honestly hoped to have the chance to participate this weekend. However, the car had way too many issues to overcome in a short period of time. I will not be making the trip to TI.
Special thanks to BHT for being a great all around guy.
To Powell, and Prodigymb for taking the time to offer assistance in response to my texts/calls the days following my purchase, even though I had never met them.
Stay tuned for my thread "Running like a top does not mean the same thing to all of us" - a cautionary tale regarding buying a car without doing proper due diligence as a buyer.
The good news is the car will be running better than its last posted documented 2011 performance in a few days.
Good luck to all the participants.

Didn't you buy KPG's old car? Sorry that you have so many problems with it.
Who did the original build?[/QUOTE]
Thanks Paulie, and yes that's the car.
I think there had been multiple shops involved in the motor/overall build process.
