It was my first HPDE event with NASA. Rules don't allow passing except on straights and only after a point by. The reason you see a hesitation on passes is because drivers of slower cars were usually late giving the point by so I had to check up and wait for it. I later learned it came sooner if I got right behind them so they had no choice but to see me in their mirror. Coming out set up for the pass meant they had to be checking the side mirror. Some times we had trains gathered up behind slower cars. I chose these two laps to post cause the second lap was one of a few I had a clean shot down the back straight.
It was an awesome experience and one I hope to repeat. The restrictions are there for everybodies safety. It's a learning thing and not a competition. I got over 120 miles of track time over the weekend and missed one session.
