Caught a mention of "one man effort" in relation to entering the Challenge. How much 'help' could someone receive and still be considered 'one man'. If a buddy spends five minutes welding something for you does that blow it? What about paying for work, like painting?

I think in this context one man is really one man. Slippery slope and all that.

+1. "One man" typically ends up doing the lion's share of the work; usually whoever's house the car is parked at. That's why we try to swap "whose turn" it is every once in a while.

Yes, One man pretty much means no one else touched the car. My first two years of The Challenge were one man efforts (before the one man class existed), and the only thing I did not do myself was mount and ballance the tires.
I considered buying a mounting maching I saw at the Daytona Rod Run, but spending the budget money to pay someone seemed smarter.Have your Buddy teach you how to weld the part.
