So, unless you can get one of the local autocross clubs to "sponsor" a test sessions using their insurance, you'll have a hard time. That goes for SPC, Brooksville, etc.
One place you probably could run would be East Bay Raceway oval. It's dirt, but it's a good place to test. If anything's gonna shake loose on the car, it will shake loose there! I think Jeff can get that for something like $500 for a day, they include insurance, and they pretty much don't care what we do.
Ugh, I don't trust the lemon on the East Bay track... Desoto YES, but East Bay is a bit rough for our beast in my opinion. Maybe doing laps around the Sunshine drag strip? (just thinking out loud). All we need is just a few hundred feet to go through the gears a few times once the motor is put back together.
