The conversation about passing zones
is amusing in that it illustrates a difference
between vintage racing and SCCA racing.
In SCCA racing, you would not be held up by
a car going thru the corners slow. You would
just stick your nose underneath the blue flag
ignoring miscreant and dare him to defend his line.
Bill Boemler told me I could pass any damn place
I wanted to - just steal the other guy's line. Making the
pass stick was often alot iffier (refer to the section
on daring the other guy to defend his line) unless contact
really messed him (and not you) up.
