I raced Porsches wheel-to-wheel for over ten years, was a licensed POC and PCA race license instructor, and was chairman of the POC program that brought the guys up from timed competition events to cup racing for three years. I have over 2,000 laps on Buttonwillow.

Let's set aside how "sketchy" the guy in the Miata was, and that he blew the flag. The fact is, the Miata was on the correct line and it is the responsibility of the faster car to make a safe pass. It was the Miata's apex by two car lengths.

If it was an open passing run group, the rule still applies. Nothing is more unsafe than a slower driver driving in his mirror and going off-line for faster drivers. A slower driver on the racing line is predictable. The Honda could have waited two turns and gone right around him on the outside. There was no prize money on the line here.

If it was a point-by run group, then the guy in the S2000 is not just a whinny baby, he's an asshat.

That contact in a proper race and the S2000 would likely have been written up in his log book.

My conclusion, the guy is a whiny crybaby who never feels accountable for his actions and was driving wreckless.
