Yup... it certainly doesn't work all the time, but luckily there's always the option of pitting in & rolling down hot-pit to let the slower rider get out ahead, then heading back out on clear track.

We always stress the fact that there are faster riders out on track on slower bikes... GENERALLY our customers are pretty courteous, but if they're not we have no problems giving them a friendly reminder back in the pits.
