Only problem is the guys in thr $100k+ cars don't actually own them, they and the excel cup cars and bemer drivers don't care if they trade a bit of paint. I have come very close on a number of occasions while holding the racing line.
I have raced against a number of classes with various speeds in heavy rain and perfect conditions with minimal issues. Yes everyone get close but that's the way you evolve as a driver.
There is more to driving a race track with others than just holding the racing line when someone is quicker and about to pass you. You need to watch your mirrors closely, hold the line until the quicker car presents himself then move off the line by a small amount. If you are actually driving the racing line then move off line, the quicker car will see this then make the move. Once the move has begun, you need to make some room to make it as safe as possible. It is not the entire responsibility of the quicker car as you are both out there playing games. If you do not take some responsibility in a passing move you have a greater chance of an incident.
I am surprised as so much negative press about driving quickly at a racetrack as opposed to driving quickly on the street with traffic coming the other way and a high risk of hitting tree's, people, other cars etc.
