[DeTomaso] Willow Springs Track Event this weekend

Damm, two Panteras and neither one is ready to run this weekend!
"The Beast" is still down with a couple of badly burned rod journals on it's Lunati Racer Series forged crank from running out of oil at SS. It will be received today by a shop in Santa Anna, but it will be very difficult to get it back and have the engine assembled, then install it by Friday.
For "The Winged Warrior" the 2v Cleveland is ready to go in, just needs one more coat on the engine bay. Problem is, the WW was "retired" from racing three or four track events ago. Every time I thrash a brand new Cleveland, without breaking it in, I always manage to break it bad.
Maybe I'll be smart for once, take my time getting these cars together right and just rent a temporary race car this weekend.
Any suggestions? Does Hertz still have those black and gold Carroll Shelby GT cars?
What else, maybe a Vette?
