Okay, so you're upset that "we" are "making" you spend more money.  Yet,
*you* want *us* to spend even more, so that we can go road racing and
leave you alone?  Seems to me the pot's calling the kettle black.

However, you greatly misunderstand "our" motivations.  We're not
"wannabe racers".  I have NO DESIRE to go road racing, but I do very
much want to win a Solo II National Championship.  I don't want higher
speeds, I don't want wheel-to-wheel competition.  I like Solo II.  I
believe there are a lot of serious autocrossers who are a lot like me.
