I've noticed that sometimes when I crash into other Karts, we both spin out -- but then I get a speed boost, and continue flying past them.

What factors are at play here? Should I always try to be ramming my opponents? I seem to have noticed this mostly when the Karts are in anti-grav mode -- is that a requirement to get this speed boost?
