Its not even going for championships, for newer racers even battling a single guy for 5th place in novice is a big deal, hell it was for me.
I was battling a motard all race, turns out it was for 5th and 6th place, come down to the last corner entering the chicane, and theres a slow rider there, motard goes left, into the dirt, I go right in the middle of 11 and 12, slow rider sees the tard to his left, tries to drift right to give him room, I'm right there, fortunatly, he either saw me, or we made it to the straight to give me room to get around him, not sure which. End up draggin the tard to the finish and I beat him by a wheel for 5th place. (Got wood too! woohoo)
Was it a pass that should have been made? Probably not, it was dangerous, the slower guy probably shit himself, the tard probably shit himself, Im pretty sure I squeeked one out, but in the heat of the moment you just go for it. It could've been worse if the slower guy moved out of the way any quicker or the turn didnt widen out enough as fast as it did. Had he followed his line the tard would've made it through the dirt, I wouldve made it on his right, and all would've been good. Fortunatly no harm came of it, but it couldve been a lot worse.
