Not always, sometimes that can make an ego driven rider ride harder making it even harder to complete a safe pass for a track day. Sometimes it's better to wait off the rider some and let him run wide or not accelerate as hard and take your opportunity when they aren't paying attention to you on their wheel.
This is where you got to take your mind off race mentality and get back to track day mentality. If you have to race wheel to wheel with a rider (if it isn't a buddy or CR) at a track day, it's probably better to pit and find another place on the track. It's hard for a lot of riders to do this because we all have our own egos as well.
