when i had my yellow dart with full RMS suspension i had a guy trying to get me to the track to run with him.. i knew what he wanted to do. he wanted to take someone who never even set foot on a track with turns in it, box stock 74 360 with 2.94 gears and put it up against his 408 powered car that is set up for and sees quite a bit of track time so he could go out and tell everyone look how slow that RMS equipped car is compared to my torsion bar car.. video isn't always all telling.

But to be clear, Wracks wasn't a stranger to turns. In the article you posted it said he used to autocross a Celica before he got the Duster, so he wasn't new to auto-x. Not saying experience equals skill, but it wasn't the reason he wasn't competitive with the Taxi that year.

And I found a post where he commented that he took first in Carlisle auto-x in 2015 here. Guessing he isn't without some kind of skills based on that.

Sounds like he brought the wrong tire, too. The article says he was running 300 treadwear tires, bet the rest of the crowd was on 200 treadwear tires. No idea if that makes up a second on the Taxi, though. Kind of seems like the Duster should have had the Taxi at a disadvantage and the tires only equalized the two, but doesn't appear to have ended that way.

As to the drivers, probably fair to acknowledge that Kevin Wesley can drive.
