Open Passing Protocol when way down on HP

I once got 5 point bye's by a new M3 on the same lap at Cota in my Spec944. This was in a point to pass DE, mid-level group.
I could tell he was getting frustrated -- but then he'd give me a point by coming out of a corner and then just mash on the go button.
I finally got comfortable enough that he was going to give me a point by that I could carry full momentum through a corner.
I pulled along side of him as he gave me the point by and there was this long pause as I'm flat out and he's looking at me like aren't you going to go.
I looked at him and rolled my wrists like I was pedaling as hard as I could. He finally got it -- lifted slightly -- and I never saw him on track again.
I found him later to apologize for "hounding" him -- he never realized the HP delta was that great. He said he laughed pretty hard when I gave him the pedaling sign.
