Yes Dave we are allowed to pass. If you allow me to get into the minutia.
Most track day clubs have rules. They vary for the different groups. The ones that I ride with are generally as follows.
B-beginner group. No passing unless your bike is straight up and down. As in on the straights and in the braking zones before you "tip in" to a corner.
I-intermediate group adds passing on the outside of turns. But you have to yield to the rider you are overtaking. So if you are outside of them and they run wide. You have let them have their "line"
A- advanced group. No passing rules. It's run like a practice session for any competitive series. You have to be sure your pass is done safely. But you can overtake at any time.
The other factor for me. Is that because I don't use tire warmers. I need to wait at least 1 to 1 1/2 laps for my tires to heat up to "working" temperature.
The guy and gals you see with t-shirts over their leathers are "coaches/ instructors." They are there to help all of us get faster safely. They also make sure the rules are followed.
There you go more than you ever wanted to know about that.

I will not judge you for enjoying my commentary. I have experienced extreme sleep deprivation many times. It's effects are known to me. Then again I display poor judgment right after getting out of bed sometimes.
Journal update:
Today will see me running errands for Mrs. Fluffy Target then Home Depot. Guess what the trip to the Depot is for.
Well I need a mount for my camera. Can't really film my honing and shaving unless I have a way to hold my phone, can I?
Tune in. At your own risk. This thread may not be a beneficial use of your free time. Therefore I encourage you to watch my content while at work. That may soften the disappointment you feel after watching my videos. Knowing that at least you wasted your employers time not your own.
