Down for the count
Went to Lebanon Valley yesterday to test the new nitrous setup. Burned a hole in #8 about 1/2 track on the first pass. 
Managed a 9.57 despite finishing on 7 cylinders.
Fortunately, I didn't push any gaskets out or blow the oil pan off. I suspect the internals are not hurt. Nonetheless, I'm done for this season.
At least I have plenty of time to ponder what to do next. Options include liquidating, build a new motor - like a blown 572, or perhaps a totally new car.
I'll be around.
