Stock cars reported by multiple people to be going 75-90 mph? A rolled
Camaro and a bent Corvette? Hard obstacles nearby? At an SCCA Solo II? I
would think that everybody here who is a member and who has read the
rulebook should be voicing their opinion about this one. The only other
event I have ever heard that was so obviously against the spirit of Solo
II was the infamous Houston event a number of years ago. And I seem to
remember they got their collective peepees whacked pretty good...
