In my experience unsportsmanlike driving can go right the way up the ranks to 10th national A finals, you learn after a while who you can actually race and who you have to be aggressive with. Generally the leading battle is ok, but if you're towards the back where the ref tends not to watch it's basically anything goes

I had issues similar to this at the last West Bridgford meeting I went to, it's not always as easy as people think to get round slower cars when there's a large speed difference, from the faster drivers perspective they're already at the maximum of what the car can do. With the exception of driving down the straights the car is either turning or braking on it's limits and sometimes to ask it to do even more with little or no warning as the slower car unpredictably changes line or slams on the brakes is too much to ask of it.
