I know with my slow rinky dink operation its even something I could never do alone. At least 1 person is needed to get it done unless you are a professional athlete by trade, LOL that you are not. Keep it simple and it can be done with 1 extra person to help, make it a BB blown injected alky operation and its a whole new level of money and help needed.
A realistic minimum of 3 extra people to make that happen smooth, 1 to drive the tow and keep it organized, 2 to start the car and get you in the groove after your burnout. Then comes the money part for the extra maintenance. My wife shot this Wednesday, I am driving up behind in my easy on parts low budget car following A mean blown SBC FED, it ran in the high a 6 second # if I read the board right. I cant find anyone to help with my car so its just me and my wife to make it happen, I made my pass and drove back to the trailer.
Heres the car running, man that thing was mean. Sorry the distance from the line to my wife was far, but the sound is all there.

We are a blown alky setup and my wife and I run it. One of my sons helps out sometimes and Steve is around, but basically we are a two person team.

Never too old. I will be 65 in August and I can still torque the mains on a big show car to 160 ft. lbs. Glenn is no spring chicken either LOL
