Going Dark; Not Sure I Have The Strength

[NASCARDaddy]

Well consider it an analogy instead of just racing jargon. Of course not everything is going to transfer well; for example when going through a divorce you don't have a crew chief or a spotter to help you out. If you are lucky you find a group like this one where you can talk and share ideas with other people who are or have been through what you are going through. However they don't have intimate knowledge of your entire circumstance so it is kind of like trying to give advice to a driver when all you have is what he tells you through the radio.

So how does a knowledge of racing help? Let's put it like this. I have my own things going on with school and work and everything. I have my own strategy that I am going to stick to, but based on what other people on the track are doing I may have to modify what my plan is. That doesn't mean that I let their pit strategy or their setup dictate the way I run my race but it does mean that I do pay attention to what the other drivers are doing.
