I let one of my Ford buddies drive the Duster once, because his car was similar ET/MPH and he's been at it a long time. It was good to see it leave & run from outside.
I should probably put him in the thing now: he's won 3 events in a row in his car. Plus, it would be nice to have some help, but he's 200 miles away. I've had offers of "help" but only from people who want to be entertained and aren't familiar with or serious about the car. That's why I built the '64, something that (at least in theory) I can drive to the track & back home, and not fuss with.
