I don't have much fun at 8/10s, which is as far as I'd be willing to go on a hill climb, safety gear or no. At a PDX it would be 9/10ths, and when there's competition involved, I want 10/10ths. Not 11, but I like the low-ish risk factor of running at a sanctioned race track with correct safety gear while I'm trying to go 10/10th. I don't like the idea of trying to win while trying not to get everything out of myself and the car is all. What I love about Solo is that on the days where I do find myself beyond a limit, the cost of the mistake is extremely small. At the track there's the possible of writing off a car, but I can accept that risk if I'm competing. Hill climbs bring a significantly greater risk of severe injury or death if I make a mistake though, and I'm not willing to accept that risk for the sake of competition.
