BUT If you get her mad watch OUT She has some demon in her somewhere, Irv Johns was WRONG, I sold my soul to get the car going and well, Mandie was sent to watch over "The Investment"



But If the car dosent get into the 9's the deal is I get a refund (on my soul, which apparently is going to be sold for scrap anyway)

Now as for the santioning bodies rating combos like this. That was a bad move. It shows a total lack of respect for long time participants that have beat their combos to death in order to be in the top half in class run offs. These certainly aren't the only underfactored combos that come to mind. I just feel that "class fast" should be the result of a well researched combo, lots of R&D, 5 to 15 converters, 3 to 5 rear gear and tire diameter experiments, hundreds of t&t passes,etc.... not the numbers submitted and approved on a piece of paper. Thats what makes this challenging in my eyes. 25% car and 25% driver and 25% engine tuner and 25%chassis tuner.
