It said in the article he would have to "liquidate some assets" which means he was a tad short of money. I hope he has the money to afford to run that thing such as transportation to the track, support from mechanics that know how to baby an engine and running gear that might be blindingly fast but also very delicate.

As an example back when I was racing the 914-6, total support from someone like Wayne Baker or Jim Patrick was about $5000 per weekend and that was just for a 914 vintage car. We had a Porsche 944 GTR that raced with us, one of the last Porsche Trans Am cars that was driven by Elliot Forbes Robinson and the owner had a factory trained mechanic with him and it cost him about $10,000 a weekend more or less.
