This reminds me of the olden days when we had standing starts.  I would flame 
up a lot of Mini Cooper drivers by blowing past them on the start.  They 
would then be all bunched up behind me on the bends, and I would blow them off 
again on the straight-aways.  It sounded like I was being chased by a swarm of 
angry bees.  I though about keeping a fly swatter and a can of Raid with me.
