It just seems to me that some people want to be past you the split second they catch you, be it in qualifying or final. They make a way past if there isn't one.
This last year at Nationals I've probably had certainly comments from the reff thanking me for letting the faster cars through, than from bad driving (none at all).
There was a time we had 2 reffs at regionals, and the driving standards were better for it.
Rant over.

It doesn't sound like a rant, not many would disagree either.
I was actually happy to be behind you, I think I said on the rostrum "No, wait til I am closer". The way I saw it, is I might have caught you but for me to be let past would have cost you time and I wouldn't have gained enough as I had already made a mistake, so I was prepared to maintain that distance rather than snap at your heels. Forgot what happened, but I don't think either of us effected the others qualifier, did we?
