Mine caught fire. It was christened by a corner crew at Bridgehampton with a
BIG fire extinguisher.

Allen,
There is no ceremony that I kow of that you perform for the car. It performs
one on you. It will occur on your first full speed run. When you storm the
front straight at VIR (or other venue) in the neighborhood of 118 mph, and she
sends you that small shudder that makes you wonder if ALL the suspension bolts
were torqued to spec. You right foot begins to shake as you see the braking
zone is shorter than you planned. You can hardly breath for the balance of
that
lap. You pull into pit lane to calm down. The ceremony is over. You built the
damn thing and it performed as advertised. That feeling will only happen that
one time.
