As long as someone knows they are a straight line queen and gets out of the way for the faster rider, that is fine. People who straight line queen and will try to block on corners piss me off, especially since I don't race in any series and all my riding is for fun.

Maybe,he was one of the many boneheads that sign themselves in as "advanced" after their 3rd track day. Who knows?
Quite frankly,guys who think they are in a race during a track day is one of the many reasons I quit doing them. Assholes on 600s stuffing me in corners just to prove they could pass a liter bike always made me wanna go Aaron Yates on a motherfucker! Especially,after I had gotten taken out a couple times!!!

And um, rubbins racing, if you cant take the heat, get outta the oven!!
Our track days allow passing in straights in novice, all passing but at least 6 inch space in intermediate, and expert/racing is no holds barred, you keep up, get rubbed or get outta the way!
Typically we all know each other on track days, but well,
you take the good with the bad...i've been buzzed so many times and stuffed by ignorant asses and incosiderate riders, it just reminds me to get that much better so all they see is my tailpipe!
