I've posted a little bit about it before, but not a whole lot.
The car is a RWD '86 Toyota Corolla. I've had the idea in my head that a
motorcycle engine would work well in a small car after seeing some Legends cars
at my dad's track many years ago. So, I'm just starting to put in a 2001
Yamaha R1 engine. I'm starting with the engine swap and once I have determined
that it will work like I expect it to, I will start the long road of meeting
all the safety rules.
I'm on a pretty tight budget, but I think I'll be able to manage just fine.
The earliest I could have it ready would be 2009, and that's what I'm aiming at
for right now.

Mike, what kind of car are you building. What engine are you swapping in.
This is the kind of stuff we all like to hear about.

I'm slowly making progress on mine (it will barely qualify as a race car, I'm
building an I/GC that probably won't top 130mph), but there's not much to
report yet. I'm just starting on the engine swap and I gotta work on the
honey-do list while I'm at it.
