1) it would keep an illegal car from killing a combo.

2) it would prevent one maniac from killing an otherwise reasonable combo. My point here is that there are several cases where one person has a combo figured out well beyond any of his competitors. He is the anomaly, and should be awarded for the achievement, but the rest of the guys running the same combo shouldn't be penalized i.e. 427/425, Sorensen is killer fast, at least .10 faster than any other 425 I would say. But there are a slew of good, fast 425's that aren't even in the same realm as him. If you hit the whole combo, Sorensen is still .10 quicker than the other 425's, but they all get penalized with him. I am NOT suggesting penalizing on an individual basis, just suggesting that just because one guy has a combo flying doesn't necessarily mean the combo as a whole is soft.

This is a performance based eliminator To many on here want to forget that.

I agree with number one.
But as far as number two goes if someone "legally" finds a way to go faster than the competition. There should be no reason to let the slower guys have a free ride.
