[Fot] Line question

[Mike Munson]

The only time I ever have a problem overtaking another car is when they are
trying to get out of my way. So, my vote is hold the racing line. I will find
the safe  way around so we can both live to race another day. The only time I
deem it necessary to drive off line is if your car is running way off pace and
you are just trying to make it back to the pits.
