Considering that Summit is the home track to a lot of those drivers and they spend far more seat time on it then RTR guys, we certainly did show them how well we drive. I worked on 6,7,8 + 9 as my focal point for fall Summit last year and it really showed as that was where I could catch them and get the pass in the back straight, or for the less track aware the front straight. I was very suprised how many times I had to be agressive and get right up on other drivers, pull out and start the pass to get the passing signal. If I didn't get it I would back off but it seemed to almost always wake them up and get the signal. I have never had to be that agressive to get passes before. (Maybe I just don't have enough passing experience running with RTR
but I have learned to give early passes.
