When it happens to me, I try to use it as a firm reminder that I need to always be aware of where the other cars are - even if they shouldn't be there! Defensive driving skills on a track are just as important as the go-fast skills and will become even more important as you move up through the ranks to open passing.
I am not excusing other driver's bad behavior just sayin' that its probably going to happen and the best offense is an excellent defense.

Yep, you have to drive defensively. Maybe in my case I was driving too defensively, looking too much in my mirrors and when I saw this guy coming up on me in the fast turn, I backed off and let him get up on me. Who knows, I gave him room, he came through and nothing happened.
One thing I liked about racing motorcycles is that there are no mirrors, you only have to worry about whats in front of you.
