I'll look into the relays, that's easy enough (and I have a spare lifeless
carcass, the car kind, to pull a relay off to test with).   I don't run any
organized club track events, so no worry there. :)

FWIW, if you can't fix the problem you are probably going to be ok. I doubt
you will cause any real harm (except perhaps fuel spraying on your lifeless
carcass after a crash) if the pump won't shut off. I don't know if it is a
requirement to have a fuel cutoff system on your car if you are tracking
it.

  the fuel pump runs and runs and runs.

  What would cause this? I can't think of any electrical/sensor/programming
  changes that happened, so what are the triggers to tell it to stop
  priming?

  p.s. the car runs, 47 days without it really sucked!! Replacement tranny
  is good to go (fairly smooth and quiet), 4.10 rear end with the torsen
  swapped in is silent... now to tackle the insanely long list of problems
  that need to be fixed, starting with the fuel pump issue.
