tires are used just for track events so theyre expected to wear
after running it hard all day on the road course track I think the tube must have had developed a decent small sized crack/leak since it was progressively idling rougher throughout the day. on the way home I got off the interstate and came to a stop. I accelerated hard from the stop and it went "wwaaaaaaBANG!" and lost power, i coasted to a stop and the engine shut off. didnt see the hole in the dark so I finally figured out with the air mass unplugged it would stay running and I drove it the rest of the way home. The next morning I discovered the hole!

is it difficult to find specific parts for the c36 nowadays?
looks like a rat chewed a big hole on that plastic tube.
I hope nothing else got bad because of that big hole, maybe big (grosse) germs gets sucked in through that ventilation hole when driving?
