A runway incursion is "any occurrence in the airport runway environment
involving an aircraft, vehicle, person, or object on the ground that
creates
a collision hazard or results in a loss of required separation with an
aircraft taking off, intending to take off, landing, or intending to
land."
It's a non-towered field so there's no separation requirement. Was there
a
genuine collision hazard? Would you have collided had you not done the
360?
We would have collided had I not done the 360 or gone around. Obviously, I
saw the aircraft and made contigency plans (trying to "stay ahead" of the
situation) since I heard no radio transmissions, all in an effort to
minimize the probability of colliding. If he/she had held short a few
seconds longer and pulled out as I was crossing the threshold, then the
chances of a collision would have been substantial.
