First, the girls get to work on the essentials – augmented roll cage, reinforced battery compartment, steel-girded bumpers and side panels.

Dubbed the Figure 9, ("Hey, that's one better than a Figure 8!") Jesse's latest creation – with it's long El Camino body – should prove an interesting player on the crisscrossing track of Irwindale's Figure 8 speedway – that is, if the WCC gang can get this unsightly beast into game shape.

By installing an extraordinary hydraulic system, the team makes the entire car jerk and jump like a crazed steer. But no bull is complete without a rider – and no modification is complete without the proper showcase.

Actually getting the chair to fit inside the vehicle proves to be a problem, however. So, Mercedes-Benz Technical Trainer Stuart Klein stops by to help the team lower the floor and redesign the rear suspension to accommodate the modifications.
