Car has to look good, be fast & you have to be lucky also. Connections help a little too

Yeah, but they're profiling imports, so slow is expected.

thanks

for the most part i'd say just work on connections though... only reason i got sponsered was because a fellow member gave me the heads up and i used to work at RKSport so we sold the other companies products already and i talked to the company all the time... it helped they were right down the street as well...
