Think about the ramifications of that... You're going to let people charge
into the finish fast, jacked up on adrenaline, then put maneuvers in?
Believe me, that would be much more chaotic than the finish at round 2. It
is generally accepted in Solo 2 that you limit speed by slowing people down
early, rather than late. Allowing a lot of speed then throwing in maneuvers
is a recipe for disaster.
