Oh dear?!!!

This is the type of attitude which makes me think of giving up the sport/ hobby all together. just as others have done I've known.

This is the attitude that puts beginners and novices off racing........... this intimidation only leads to anger and frustrations on the track.

If you are that much better that you have gained a whole lap on the car your approaching, then it's you who should be patient. They are obviously not as good as you at getting around the track. So your chance will come soon enough!

A little more respect for fellow racers and their cars wouldn't go amiss. Everyone has the right to be on the track, anywhere on the track!! Just because some are faster then others does not entitle them to anything!!

Remember faster drivers.......... the slower drivers are more then likely doing all they can not to crash! Never mind restrict themselves to only a certain area of the track. You, the faster driver, have more of the skill involved, you make the decision on how to get around the slower driver. Unless the slower driver is another idiot with a bad driving attitude, they will not be "trying" to hit you.

Just because they are not doing what you want them to do does not entitle you to do anything to them or their car.

This post is so well said.
+1 Slow drivers pay the same amount as a fast driver to race.
What next duct tape a slow "marshal" and lay him across the finish line so every one can bash into him at the end of the race.

There are higher priorities to being a sportsman than just getting out of the way.
We have all been slow.
