first race in car is fail

ok people, last night i text my friend and asked him if anything was goin on and he called me sayin there was 2 civic si, a tiburon and mustang chillin. so like paul walker i hopped in my car and flew to the spot..he told them i had a cobalt ls and they laughed til i showed up. they asked me whats been done, i told them and showed them and they shut up. me and a mugen civic si took off to run and 1st run i did nothin but spin up 1, 2 and partially 3rd and popped off a intercooler pipe, needless to say i lost. i fixed that and we went again, this time from a 30 roll. i started in 2nd (mid) and i honked it off, on the 3rd honk i took off once again spinning and caught traction in 3rd. while i was spinnin the civic was pullin but as soon as i hooked i reeled him in hard...well my intercooler popped off again and he pulled away. damn i hate this intercooler piping and stock tires lol. but all in all it was fun and the people were cool. he wants to run again when i get my stuff straight. my friend has video but it is dark and you hear me cursin out my car lol
