6.11.1.C. "....Abrupt changes in direction that impede or affect the path of another car attempting to overtake or pass may be interpreted as an effort to deprive a fellow competitor of the right to racing room."
Unless you start qualifying under a FCY, the track is GREEN. That means that if you are weaving side-to-side while another car is attempting to overtake, you are blocking and could be protested. Whether protesting tire scrubbing is a weiner protest or not is debatable.
On the out lap, I always make certain there isn't someone trying to get by me when warming my tires on the front straight. Not sure what one would gain in terms of tire warming beyond that point. Kirk is correct, the best way to warm up tires is to drive 'em.
