That doesn't sound like legal Solo I as you describe it. There are actually
four kinds of Solo I: the one-at-a-time timed lap on a track (time trial),
hillclimbs, drag races, and "Special Solo I Events". The last sounds like
what you are describing, with the distinction that no passing is allowed
during timed runs, while "tightly controlled, limited passing" is allowed
during practice sessions.
