336rwhp fd vs. 350awhp evo 9
It Was a cold night out so I decided to take the 7 out. First roll was from a 40, It was pretty even through 2nd, took him at the end of the 3rd, and at the end of 4th I was about half a car out and let off... sometime at the end of the race I must have blew a vacuum hose off..

I didn't realize I had a vacuum leak, I didn't stop inbweteen the two runs and my cars too damn loud to hear anything pop off. 2nd run another 40 roll, he ended up getting a car on me before shutting down... I realized something was wrong with my car so I took it home immediately..

Videos uploading now... kinda pissed about the vacuum leak, whens it going to end!

I think you did damn good for being handicapped. A modded evo 9 is really quick.
