    I had a similar situation on 77 in OH a couple weeks ago, except it was Boyd Bros vs. PAM. It went on for a good 15 miles with both refusing to back off. I don't get it, what are they trying to prove?

    Ain't it fun to watch? I can verify that paschall is .375 mph faster than PAM, I witnessed that epic battle (and many others,, jb, averitt, etc,etc) and calculate the speed difference while watching the race. Then congratulate the winner and tell him how much faster he is.

    Sometimes I'll pass the winner and slow down to make sure he loses way more time than he gained over that 5-15 minutes, which doesn't amount to much... Considering that if you're .3 mph faster than the guy you passed, you gain roughly 20 seconds an hour by passing them (assuming you can maintain top speed for an hr)
