I'm still trying to learn the ways of the track as I'm new to competition and new to that track. That was also the 2nd session when it was still cold and wet (IIRC).

I'm not trying to argue, just trying to give the whole picture. I know you're involved in the racing world (all the lapping day posts and such) and want to make sure I'm not repeating mistakes.
And I'm not trying to be a **** or make you feel bad about it... just trying to impart just how serious it could have been.

If you're giving a pass it's your job to back off the gas and stay on line, it's the job of the person doing the passing to get by you safely.
