Well, I'm happy to abide by any set of sporting rules determined by the organizers (or universally agreed by the racers). The last time I suggested this very thing, I got blasted for suggesting guidelines for the "don't hit anyone" rule. So I'm not expecting rules clarification from the LeMoneers.
I'm not being sarcastic, but I thought this was a race, not a lapping day without point-bys. At Stafford, Jay made it clear that they wouldn't be throwing the passing flag and that it was up to us to make our passes (presumably without contact, without pissing anyone off, and making them stick).
If the rule is that I'm supposed to move offline or lift when I see a car in my mirror, it is new information to me. I don't think I saw anyone lift for me, except for the hopelessly slow (e.g. Snoopy, Lada) taking the non-preferred two-wide line (like the outside lane through T4). I don't think it is blocking to simply follow the racing line when no car is abreast of me. (Even a nose is abreast of me.) Obviously, I'm never going to intentionally have contact.
I've too have been frustrated getting past high power, poor-handling cars. I figured that that's part of racing Lemons (and part of selecting a car).
Some race series go beyond this and allow a single defensive move. I'm not even talking about that. I just talking about sticking to the fastest line until the car behind can at least stick a nose in. I left plenty of apexes because I wasn't sure if a car was there or not.
EDIT: As for when I passed, I didn't consider a nose sufficient. I backed out unless I was at least even with the car, in which case I expected a side-by-side unless the outside car braked early and relinquished the track-out (rare, and I was conservative to avoid contact).
As for the video, I wasn't driving. I've watched it a few times. I think it's pretty clear that our car intended to pass the slow cars that were on the right after letting the blue car past. It moved left before your car stuck its nose in. I think both cars went for the same track space at about the same time. We got there first. I think both drivers could have been more heads-up and avoided it. That said, our driver should have setup inside to pass the slower cars on the right, which would have "blocked" you and the blue car for the corner. You would have passed on the straight (or in T13), without contact or any problem.
Rob, your car was both faster and better handling than ours, and you passed us easily all day long.
