Nick I understand how super solo works but from the video it looks like Eddie is being careful slightly on the inside setting up to pass when the BMW starts to move in to the inside thus cutting Eddie off.
Passing in SS is a 2 way street. Its the passing cars responsibility to pass at the safest and smartest point. The BMW went in wide and left room, but Eddie followed his line. Eddie did not take the inside line to pass until the tightest part of 17. In my opinion, that's a dangerous pass and could push out the BMW to wide. If your going to make a move to pass, you show your intention to the car in front. Enter the turn using your half of the track, and stay in that line all the way to apex and track out.
I think the more important issue is keeping these situations at the track. Super Solo is a self policing group. If there is a situation or an error, find the the party involved and talk about what happened. Use it as an opportunity to not only correct a mistake, but also to learn the other drivers habits for future sessions. Using Rennlist to call out a fellow enthusiast is wrong and just escalates the situation. Especially when SS is such a tight knit group to begin with....

Wow, eddie there was some close calls there... A little to close for a DE. That first few minutes shows we should be racing all in the same class.
I do laugh at all your hand gestures though

Ah, in that case you scared the **** out of me when I saw the car go by on the flat bed.
Now I know where the medical building is and where ambulances park LOL.
Kudo's for smiling about it and have a beer within 30 minutes after the incident

Wifey is OK, I stressed how well the safety equipment worked and she has seen pics of the car. I am a believer in how well the Containment seat, Hans, 6 Point worked. just bruised ribs on the left side.

Lindsay, I think those times make you part of the moving Chicane but actually a good showing for your first few days at the track. Nice safe off on 1. You must have talked to the Greek before that session.
Tom, good to meet you at lunch on Friday. You picked a scary place to spin at Sebring. Twice for that matter.
