I've run into that problem at DCTC from the other end. I always ride in the mellow group, since my 250 just doesn't have the power to stay with the big sportbikes in the straights.
Back in June there was a group in the mellow class that should have been in the rowdy class. Gerg even had one guy punt him off the track at the kink after the back straight. Gerg turned in and some guy was trying to stuff him up the inside and they made contact and Gerg stood up it up and went off the track. A total jackass move, especially considering the no passing in the corners rule.
However, last time we were at DCTC, I don't think either one of us got passed in the mellow class. We were the fastest ones out there and on the smallest bikes.

yeah, there were 4 that i can think of. the two Aprilias, the black gsxr600 and the repsol rep (1000?) the 600 wasn't any issue getting around, just that his pace was much slower than i would expect in the rowdy session. the Aprilias were no problem, exept when i went to pass them on the back straight, and they would start to pull away half way to the bend, but i just kept it pinned for 200 feet passed when he let off.
the guy on the Repsol bike was the most frustrating. i would be right behind him for several laps, giving him "the pipe", but it's hard to pass a 1000 on a 450. the Repsol guy is fast enough for the rowdy session, but i would have been nice if he had the courtesy to let me by on the back straight. i made sure was a good boy and didn't pass anywhere i wasn't suppose to.
