I'm a firm believer that the only way to get better is to race against better competition.
I agree. You just gotta find the competition within the race. Ive always just picked that person next fastest to me and made that my goal. Some people go out there thinking they need to beat Eli to have fun and thats just not the case. You can have fun and be around the big guys all at once. The only issues Ive ever seen with a novice and "pro" is when a "pro" gets mad at the way a novice turn marshalls or if they happen to be in the same race something they do. It doesnt happen often but when it does it discouraging.
