Imitation: The Most Sincerest Form Of Flattery

Alan Roehrich · 02-09-2014, 10:43 AM

I'm not seeing this as a huge problem.

The three people that this always seems to be directed at are almost always running at least two classes.

If you're letting the time at which they arrive in the staging lanes get into your head, you're beating yourself, and have no one to blame but yourself.

Use all the time your opponent gives you to prepare your car mechanically, and yourself mentally.

Being last in the lanes does not make you a winner, or a champion.

Worrying yourself about what time someone else gets to the lanes may keep you from being a winner, or a champion.

I think Adger has a fantastic idea. One can come up last and pull right to the head of the lanes? No waiting? Like easy pass for the staging lanes? Sign me up! Well maybe not me, but someone that likes to come up last might like the idea...

I knew someone would "Get it" thanks Dan.

Dan, are you in the staging lanes or back at the trailer reading this thread?

Priceless.
Coming from a guy that's perpetually near the end of every round, qualifying or racing.
Playing head games or whatever the reason.
No respect for the rest of the class.
If your statement is true, then get up there!
