No, It's just that no one guaranteed him he would not be dead when it
was all over.;)
Read between the lines of the ever so eliquently crafted "mAs" work of
art, I think the point is that ProSolo is a different ball game, and no
one is making you typical Solo 2 type assurances. Kinda obvious really,
looking at the the basic set up. Frankly I'm amazed that no one has
done a head-on at the crossover between runs!

Understood. And your vision would certainly be correct at almost any
other type of event. To do it on Sunday afternoon at a Pro is basically
writing off the weekend's event. I'm learning to withold my comments if
I was not there. Even if I think I have a pretty good bead on things,
there invariably turns out to be that "oh, I didn't know that" part of
the story that never got out. No doubt there is here too... these are
not local volunteers that don't know how to properly space a fast and
slow car as someone else mentioned, these are pretty seasoned people
running things. I'm not doing a whole lot of second guessing on this
one...I only hope that it results in increased awareness for the better,
and not a continued barrage of sniping for the worse.
