Another thing...etiquette.
If the format you're racing has multiple classes running at the same time, let faster riders pass. Hopefully slower riders will do the same for you.
A faster rider will yell if you haven't heard him coming and prepared to let him by. You don't need to stop. Just look for a wide spot where you can give him room to go by or go wide in a turn and point for him to take the inside line or if it's tight woods then he may just bushwhack around you. Let off, if you need to, for him to get back on the trail.
If you see someone stopped, make sure they're not hurt. We want everyone to make it out ok.
