Regardless, I had a good run on him so I kind of stuffed my nose in there anyway (its aggressive) to see what he would do.
And he did exactly what he should do and that is drive his line and not just give me the inside line. So I don't think that he chopped me at all. He was ahead at turn in and his expected line was to come down aggressively towards the apex. I knew that and he knew that. So, rather than force the issue, after his initial move towards the apex, I backed out to avoid him and he actually opened up his line to avoid me.
Since I was on the inside and momentarily lifted, that killed my momentum whereas he was able to roll through the corner faster on the outside and was a few car lengths ahead of me after corner exit.

yessir, as taught in race school - person ahead at turn-in gets to maintain the racing line and other guy has to get out of the way. not sure about where you run, but 'dive bombing' is frowned upon up here (ie, late braking at turn-in to gain position).
