This was a race of course, very different than DE as you know. In this case two of those pesky Miatas without rearview mirrors were in my way.
I wouldn't encourage anyone to do it either but I get passed that way too. A few years ago at VIR Todd was having a handling problem in his Probe and he was going into the climbing esses and staying on the throttle letting the car go whereever it went. He would go 4 wheels on the grass every lap. Nothing wrong with that, you just can't pass on the inside of the turn in the grass. On the outside or on a straight its perfectly legitimate.
