Title: James Willaday wins the 2010 HKS Drag Street Class Championship in a RX7
Post by: BlitzBoy on October 05, 2010, 01:52:19 PM
Congrats to James Willaday, the first rotary to win the "Street Class" in the HKS series in 2010

He beat two hard charging Skylines over the 5 rounds in the year to gain the most points. It was very close at the end, awesome achievement.

The Rotary did indeed beat the piston this time.

Myself I came 5th in the series, didnt finish any higher due to breakages and mistakes by me on the startline but hey thats racing, hopefully do better next year.

The street class will have another two rotaries joining the series next year. It will be stiffer competition as the old 09 champion Jonny McKeon will be back along with two high powered Skylines.

Good work Mr Willaday.  I think it\'s the hair that gives him the speed.
