That's just a given on track. The drivers that are on parade laps and are totally unaware (experience!) are the danger out there - their lines suck - they have no clue that faster cars are coming on them like freight trains. If a driver has to get the "faster traffic" flag - then that tells me they're clueless.
I was just asked to work on an old NASCAR car to get it ready for track days. It appears to be an old cup car from 2003-4 built by Richard Childress Racing. Not unusual in the Southeast. Guys try to get the ones used for the road courses at Watkins Glen & Sonoma.
