Personally, if tools/etc are an issue, take them out. Same with passengers. If you run a race with your car in a handicapped state, you have to realize that the other party isn't always going to acknowledge that fact and go talk some smack on the net. That's just how it goes because until you come back & beat them with your car running right, they do, in fact, have bragging rights. You never know how things will shake down until you try the run with the right tune on the car & at race weight. I've had runs where I thought that removing my trunk full of shit would make a difference. I pull the shit out, and sometimes I'd win, sometimes i'd still lose. It all just depends.
Anyhow, I'd like to see a rematch happen. Being a k-series guy myself, I hope Luis puts it down for the K-nation. :)
