It is a shame this thread has turned into a pissing match. I imagine if we were all at the bar at Siebkens having a beer this discussion would be much more enjoyable.
I am posting a video from Sprint One at the Putnam Park PCA club race in 2006.
I am driving a 1979 911 SC and running in F as prepared. I finished 3rd behind Hupfer and Grigsby. This is a clip of me attempting to get by a GT5 914 that I am lapping.
The clip is an example of a guy that you are lapping racing you. I rarely have issues with slower cars that are driven well, it is usually the guy that should be as fast or faster than you, but is not.
Here is the video. The audio is muted in one portion of the video, becuase I start rambling on about how much I would like to give this guy an hug and a kiss after the race .

In the spirit of palying nice together may I suggest the faster cars get one of these to put on their cars.
BTW this was given to me as a joke but I put it on my car anyways so if you see me a commin' .....

Video does not appear to work.
What does it show? A lapped drover being an *******? Does Doug punt him?

i only wish the mike was on for the entire verbal flurry
i still can't believe people pull that ****. you can't even use the 'i didn't know' line here... by racetime you just *know* from warm up and qual who's in your group and who isn't.
it's one of the times that you wish you had a right-hand-drive car so you could reach out and pull his kill switch, or better yet, extinguisher when passing by.
