How much room will there be as the Cessna rolls down the runway? If he

Then go around. Chances are if he aborts he will be off the runway before
you touchdown.

And even if he's not, landing behind him may still be the safest thing. If
the other guy is on the runway in front of me, I can see him and know
exactly where he is. If I go-around, there's a pretty good chance I'll
lose sight of him (especially if I'm flying a low-wing).

Most of the things most of us fly can be stopped in under 1000 feet. There
just aren't that many scenarios where a guy starts rolling and then stops
leaving me less than 1000 feet behind him. And even in that case, I can
probably do a high-speed turn off into the grass with little or no damage.

Let me add.

If you go around you clear the R/W ASAP. No if's, and's or but's.

Been the rule for years.
