I'm a bit amused about the speculations concerning what will make the Tilleymobile run. Let me take a try at guessing what might happen.
My guess is that the DeLorean will not be significantly modified. A few measures will be taken to minimize engine noise and vibration and make any remaining noise sound like something else. Add music, announcers, celebrity appearances and magic sideshows to the usual racetrack distractions. People more than 30 feet away won't hear any car sounds. Celebrity drivers with no detailed knowledge about automobiles can be convinced that whatever they hear is not an engine. Elvis might put in an appearance and take a few laps behind the wheel. If you are close to Nashville and curious about how the illusion will be created, then by all means go. Expect to see a magic show and a bit of circus, not a technical demonstration.
