Andy I sure hope she is ok.  Good luck with your car search.  I like looking at them but hate talking to the salesmen.  
I found my truck online spent just a couple of hours at the dealership.  
Bj, that's a bad a$$ looking derby car! That dude looks like it will fly! Good job to the both of you! 
Just to be safe the a file and some superglue and a little lead when you go to the race.  You never know exactly what their scale might say.  Good luck! Make sure and let us know how it goes.
