And please "breathe" the throttle when you're letting someone by.  The cars
are all relatively close in acceleration.  It's very hard to pass someone on
the straight if his foot's to the floor.

Had a guy at Gingerman in a BMW X5, with the 4.4L V8.  He was slow as hell
through the turns and really holding people up.  Problem is, on the two
straights where you can pass he kept his foot in it.  Those things are fast
in a straight line!  I had to kind of set him up in the turn leading to the
straight, and use second gear coming out (normally it would be a third gear
turn, but we were going at his pace).  Swung wide out of the turn and he and
I had a big 'ole drag race down the straight. I had to keep my foot in it
until after he hit the brakes, then stomp on my brakes.  Went around him on
the outside holding my breath!.
