How to pass

I have a somewhat vague and probably naive question... how does one pass when racing 1/12th scales? I am sure this occurs at all levels, but for me, it shows up more often with these lil 4cell stockers (probably cause everyone is very close to the same speed) The problem is if I am 0.1 or 0.2 seconds per lap faster than the guy ahead of me, how do I get around him? There is not enough hp to go around him on the outside, and as long as he holds his line, there is most likely no room on the inside. What do you people do in this situtation? I know there is no "correct" answer, I am just looking for opinions because right now I just sit back and wait for the guy in front to make a mistake... all the while the rest of the pack is catching up.
