I raced open wheel dirt and off road cars for 6 years. It was usually bad if you tangled wheels making a move like that. Having said that, if you did not go for an opening like that when you had the opportunity then you were usually relegated to mid or further back in the pack. A "slide job" was a thing of beauty when executed right. If executed wrong it would put you on your lid or in the fence and result in fisticuffs in the pits later. Dirt track racing was like that.
I would like to think that I would show more restraint on a road course where speeds are usually much higher and the consequences of contact may be more dire. But I am also still a competitive individual. If we are racing wheel to wheel and you leave me an opening then you had better expect that I am going to stick my nose in there and go for the pass. I am not out there to follow you around and finish second even when you make mistakes.
