We run the same car in the houston and california road races - keeps running when everybody else breaks. March in Houston - we ended up 8th out of 95 cars - and the guys that beat us had 10X as much money in their suspensions as we had in the whole car. Be prepared - you will not be running on a level playing field - there will be guys with 5 or 10K in their cars.
We were also slow - we only had the 84th fastest lap time - so our only advantages were reliabilioty and iron bladders - and no penalties!

I would go back and look at the starter - are you sure it's good? Does the key crank the starter? if not after you hook it to the battery - jump across the solenoid and see if you can get it to spit out the bendix and turn - if not the starter is not hooked up correctly -
so I guess I need a bit more info - is it cranking when you turn the key?
