    Thank you for the advise Im glad I posted this . But what if this were on the flats because even when flattened out he still wouldnt let me in. This was not some punk kid driver was a older clean cut guy he looked proffesional and thisi s what I thought as I was passing him. But to not acknowledge me by sight or radio was just stupid.
    I will learn from this but I still think I did everything right except pass on the grade, but I was running faster than him If he didnt speed up It would of made for a smooth run..

    I think you were too close to each other for CB reception.

    I dont think its usually anyone messing with you. There are so many variables that changes speed even on slight inclines. Load weight, tires, wind, etc. Just because your both set at 65 does not mean your going to be going the same speed.
