John,
I find it reprehensible for you to discredit someone's efforts to give
people a rare opportunity to learn and practice our sport based on some
grudge you still carry from 10+ years ago. Many people here have
already testified to Andy's willingness to share his knowledge and
experience in car setup and driving, and all my experiences have
supported this. Your remarks come across as cheap and very, very low.
Thankfully I think most people here can make their own judgements and
apply the appropriate filter to your comments.
Peter

Barry,
Thank you for sharing the info on the Andy Hollis "pre-school."
With ony nine entries so far it looks like Hollis' reputation has spread
further than most of us thought. It was the Hollis family some 10 years
ago that was hit with a $10,000 fine for Andy's actions over a Pro Solo
season. When the Hollis family Honda Covic was protested after a Pro
Solo event, Hollis produced a document specifying a non-standard final
drive ratio for towing. Trouble is/was there was also another Honda
document stating the vehicle should not be used for towing. Et Cetera.
Several years later Andy and Ann Hollis paid the fine. It was the
largest fine ever assessed and paid in SCCA, includng pro racing. Andy
even serves on the Solo Events Board today.
