Yup, it’s in the article I posted. He got wiped out by the Hotchkis Taxi in every event.
Now granted, the Taxi was being driven by Kevin Wesley. But it was also a big block, power steering, FOUR DOOR, B-body. So, probably giving up 500 lbs in the weight department and still a full second faster on the autoX track than the RMS Duster. Clearly there was a power difference with the Taxi being much faster on the drag strip as well. But typically autoX favors the smaller, lighter car over sheer horsepower, and a 4 door Satellite is a big car on an autoX course.
And the Taxi ran the second quickest autoX, behind only Danny Pop's '72 'Vette, which has won the Optima challenge more than once. And it beat out some pretty fancy, high dollar suspensions on the other contenders as well, while giving up weight and horsepower to most of them.
