That's a fair point. I guess in my case, they limit on track sessions to 20 cars, so in a Miata with R-comps on a track you know well? I basically came out of the pits at 9.5/10ths and would generally get 2-3 clean laps, then the stragglers at the back were typically easy to get around. Don't have any of my old time sheets anymore, but usually only 1 lap out of a 7-8 lap session would I really get held up, and very rarely pull into the hot pits to get some space from someone being a jacka**. |

I feel like many of the Spec Miata drivers around here are famous for this on the straights. Why give up the line if you are just going to drag race me to the next corner??

I had several instances where I was waiting a long time for a point by at the last event I went to. NASA HPDE > SCCA PDX. The PDX seemed super disorganized, and very lax on all the typical rules and etiquette. If it wasn't so inexpensive, I'm not sure I'd do one again. I'll have to try and put together a video of the bad point bys lol.

This is what I've always been taught as well. Hold your line, it's up to the passing driver to make a clean, safe pass. If you're expecting someone to stay on-line and you're going to go around them and then they go and change it last second (which I've had happen before) it can get really dicey, very quickly. |

Wow, are all those tracks on the same scale? I had no idea the Isle of Man course was that big.
