An STX RX-8?! Chiketkd's 2010 STX thread!!!

[Chiketkd]

I did WDCR event #4 this past Sunday, and once more my stiffest competition came from Willemin and Finlay co-driving a WRX. STX ran in the fourth and final heat of the day, but conditions stayed relatively consistent all day long (upper 80's to low 90's). This course had two long uphill sections which definitely favored the torquey WRX, but with some nice transitional stuff in the middle to keep them honest!

I unfortunately couldn't get a good rhythm going on this course. I coned my first run, went super slow on my 2nd to stay clean, then pushed things more on my third to turn my fastest raw time of the day (but with 2 cones), and then turned a semi-safe 4th run which was clean. I finished 2nd, roughly 2/10ths behind Willemin, while Finaly was another 1.3 seconds back in 3rd.

Summary:
2nd out of 11 in class
34th out of 192 in PAX
