I know it looked like it, but I was not very interested in passing him once the 22 car spun off. it was a 31 lap/100 mile race where we are the slow class.

Its a whole lot easier to ride and draft and have a clean look out the back at the faster cars coming.

Had I passed him, I would have given the spot back unless I gapped him right away. I am much more comfortable that way. but I am still new to this and I am sure I will evolve.
