John,
Personally, I hope it will continue to be a fair and close fight between the
Civic and the Mini (and hopefully others in HS as well). If the Mini is an
overdog, then what was once the least expensive class in Solo II will have a
$17k price tag (if you can buy at sticker), before spare wheels, tires, and
shocks, revalving, alignments, and the like.
That would be a shame, in my opinion.
Here's to hoping that the competition is close.
Regards,
William Loring
