10 seconds ?!?!?
Most indoor tracks I've been to have average lap times of less than 10 seconds. 3rd place would have passed you by then.
In my opinion it depends on if you want to race, or if you want to win. It's his problem if he chose to not trim his body properly to prevent tucking. If you want to race, stop (or slow down) until he catches back up. If you want to win, keep on going. This shouldn't be an ethics arguement, rubbing is racing. Now, if you intentionally punted him into the boards then you should be black-flagged for unsportsmanlike behavior.
