I figured I was just beeing a wuss... less brake, more throttle... got it.

Also thought I'd post some video to see what you guys think.  The green 914 in this video reported me to the track chair after this session for being too "aggressive".  Did I do something wrong here?

I was closing on him very fast and was anticipating the point-by between 5-6.  When I didn't get it, I backed off and made another run at him between 6-7 (also a passing zone).  Didn't get the point by, so I backed off completely throughout the entire carousel.  Left a ton of distance and made a run at him after 14 on the front straight. 

I guess I could have been more patient, but there is very little time to make a pass on these two straights (5-6, 6-7) before the carousel (which is very painful when you get stuck behind slow cars).  I have to admit that I became very frustrated this weekend as filling the mirrors of the car in front did not always get me the point by (especially this 914, who frustrated me all weekend).  What should I have done differently here?

I had to have a discussion with the track chair.  I brought the video, but he didn't want to see it.  He just told me to take it easy and play nice, and to respect the right of the car in front to control the pass.  He was right... but perhaps some remediation and encouragement of bettter situational awareness was also in order for the green 914.
