TONYKX, these guys telling you to go for it in the dust either have no regard for their personal well-being, or aren't very experienced desert racers.  If you go for it in the dust, you won't be around very long. As far as strategy for doing well, ride on the edge of the dust ( leaving just enough of a gap to react to obstacles) or ride right on the guy's butt so his dust goes under you, then make up the time when it clears.  Always ride upwind, since the guy's dust in front of you will blow to the side, and yours will hinder the guys behind you and give you a little breathing room.  If you watch any of the top guys(Abbott, Davis, Krause, etc.),  they take only very calculated risks, and they never ride blind.  All of those guys passing you in the dust are rolling the dice, and most of them crash and eventually get hurt.  At the Jackpot National H&H, I had a guy pass me like 5 times, and by mile 75, he was so tired from crashing that he was easy to pull away from.  Hope this helps.
