The real question is:
Why is the slower higher class car block in the
turns and powers away on the straight the faster lower class car?

As I have heard numerous times at driver's meetings, if the guy in the Miata appears in you rear view mirror get out of his way he is faster than you are. Most of the higher hp cars is all about ego unfortunately not about skill. The more expensive the car the larger the ego.

One would think the ego would fare better if it let the miata pass and disappear into the horizon vs being reminded by it in its rear view mirror lap after lap.

And that is a conversation I am going to have with a certain driver before the next race!

Why were you dive bombing me lap after lap when you were a LAP DOWN and you F-ed my race?!

Seriously, if I don't like his answer when I plan on speaking to him before the Monticello race than the video is going to the scrutes. If I told you his number and class I am pretty confident you would agree with me because he has a habit of doing this and screwed several people at the recent PCA LRP race.

That being said, I always try to give a person a chance to discuss something. The problem is another person who drives in GTB1 had a conversation with him after the LRP race and the guys response was "I am racing".

When you are a lap down in a sprint race at LRP you aren't racing anymore.
