I have seen "Solo2" on T-shirts and stickers. I kind of like that
variation.
I have not seen "SoloII Racing" on any list of trademarks. Are they
actively using this? Where?
The reason I ask is that SCCA, like other autocross organizations, has been
careful not to use the "R" word for autocross, for public-relations,
site-procurement and insurance reasons. This is particularly important for
SCCA, which does also put on actual races outside of its Solo department,
and would want to minimize any confusion.
