Ken is also an ex-autocrosser. I saw his name on the Sterling
Moss NER autox champion trophy when I won it, and he
congratulated me at the awards ceremony. I bought my first
set of "race" tires from him, used, in 1984 or so.
(Goodyear Eagle GT-S).

I think Wilson could be the best driver to never win a solo-II national
championship. He should have won a few (one year was DQd for
machining his caliper for wheel clearance when he could have machined
the wheels just as easily and legally). He started out running HS in a
VW bug (got FTD at most local events!) then got a Celica GTS.
Another year he blew an engine in his LT1 Vette while leading...
He got discouraged at Solo-II but at his first SCCA runoffs he won
(now 2 in a row!).

Aren't we all!
