ever lost a race because of a stupid move lol

pissed me off bad today..some dud in a acura dont ask me what year or anything(it was modded so it was not stock) but i know i could have killed him. anyway he was pissing me off and when i got behind him at a light he floored it on green so i said screw it. he was so slow i had to us the brake of else i would have rammed him and when i finaly do get over to the other lane and hit the gas my stupid a$$ 4gets to downshift because i dont have the kickdown cable hooked up and its been so long since i raced anything i just forgot. i dont think i have ever been this mad before lol.
oh well i just hope i find him again. anyone else loose a race they should have won but messed up like i did?

That reminds me of the time when I had to 'borrow' a 2.73 rear end for my 3.73 car ('84 T/A)

Lots of people with new focuses and hondas and all kinds of other crap tried to race and I lost miserably, even from a roll.

They sure got a surprize a week later when I got my new 3.73 rear back in!

If you had your car assembled properly, they wouldn't have had much of a chance.....unless it's a very fast Acura.

I lost a race to a Lincoln Town Car at the track.

I had popped the hood in the pits to open it, and then found out they called my lane, so i drove right up and never got out. Well after 2nd I saw the hood flopping in the breeze, and let off. Ran a 17.0 to his 16.0!
