Reminds me of the Cat and Mouse races at PIR. The 3/4 crowd would set out with a 5-8 minute lead (it changed every week), then the P/1/2's would set out after them. We'd only have so many laps to catch the 3/4's and we were all scored as a mass start. Theoretically, a smart cat 4 could win a "mass start" race against 90+ P/1/2 racers.
There was SO much trash talk if the 3/4's were able to hold us off.
