Agreed. Some of those straights seem pretty short to pass especially if the person doesn't know you're passing, better safe than sorry. I'll probably be the one getting passed anyway, haha.

Edit: Any update on who won the free road course time?

Yea, usually during the HPDE days they only allowing passing in a few spots unless you are in the advanced run group. It's hard to pass even on the decently long straight between turn #3 and turn #4, unless you have a lot more power than the the other guy and he waves you by right away.

You are probably safer not running the slicks, unless you have a lot of experience with your car. Normal tires will be a lot more predictable.
