I think the best ones know when to drop their speed,
or the QSO in some cases, else they gum up their runs.
If someone has plenty of folks coming back to them at
high speeds, they won't break cadence for someone
slow, unless that signal is overpowering.

That's why they have dirt tracks, drag strips, NASCAR,
demolition derbies, La Mans... you have to drive in
'em all, but they all have different skill sets (and
equipment). Some can master them all, some don't want
to...
