Does appear to be the case.
I'm still not a big fan but it is the biggest class and does provide the most experience for driving with traffic. Which is something I need a lot of experience with as noted by your race. I had a car and the skills to be in the A but each race I constantly had issues with traffic. One qualifier I even decided to not drive respectful and because I don't even have those skills it did not work either.

I had, and sometimes still have that issue....The 1st time I went to the Scale Nats in Chi, Melvin and Dirla both worked with me on the same things...the biggest thing I learned was PATIENTS....I had to learn to wait and let them make a mistake or go wide, and sneak by....
It helps to just wait and see what the "slower" guys do...also learn the number of the car thats holding you up, and call them out on a corner and LET them know you are going on the inside on the next corner...dont ask for it...tell them you are going inside next corner...it normally works....try it
and if that doesnt work...2 corner rule works...or is it 2 laps...I forget..lol
good luck

Waiting for the right moment is the key to passing. if you force it you usually end up wrecking yourself. its hard to do but learn to wait. also, practice with the people you're racing with if possible and watch them practice on their own. learn their driving style and what part of the track they are having difficulty holding the line. make your passes at their weak spot. just remember, there is absolutely no excuse for pushing someone out of your way. if they are good enough to run a tight line give them the credit they deserve for making it a good race. enjoy the competition of a well run race more than your finishing position in that race. if you have to push someone out of the way it only means you have a faster car, not that you can drive it.
I admire your willingness to work on your passing skills. its hard to admit where our weak spots are and sometimes even harder to improve on our weaknesses. I know I need to work on my passing as well.
