With any of the groups I've worked with up here, it's the passing cars responsibility to complete the pass before the passing zone ends. We typically have double cones to start and triple cones to end so there's no confusion.
If you can't complete the pass before the passing zone ends, it's your job to fall back behind the car you were passing.
If it were up to me, the miata would've been black flagged as well for pointing you by then not allowing the pass.

Very interesting to hear a different perspective/take on it. Here, there's no instruction that if the other car doesn't lift before the end of the passing zone, you should slow down and tuck behind him (that I can remember).
One thing class instructors will harp on is don't change your mind on hand gestures. So if you give a pit signal, don't change your mind and pull back onto the track. In my mind at least, another application would be, if someone gives you a point-by and you move off line to take it and don't wave it off, then you shouldn't change your mind halfway through the maneuver and try to tuck back behind him.
It does make me want to clarify what the correct rule is. The way I see it, if you've already pulled alongside or nosed in front of the car being overtaken, it would be dangerous to brake and attempt to tuck back behind him before a turn.
