LOL, there is already a parity producing leveler in effect it's called
classing
Now if we would stop trying to class cars by price, style, color, and what
type of
People like them. Instead of what we are supposed to do which is class by
autocross
Potential we will have a much better time. And it will not be a big issue
to bump a car
to a lower/higher class since the classes will be closer

Oh come now. We all know exactly how the SCCA feels about parity and

Trunk kits.
So why not allow some "engineering" into Solo2 Stock Class vehicles?
Obviously if the factory can't be bothered to produce cars that are up to
the task then it's up to the aftermarket and the individual car owner.
