I always have fun racing regardless of outcome but if I didnt want to win I wouldnt race. Why do anything competitively if you dont want to win? I just dont understand the current mentality of "everybody is a winner." Competition is an absolute must in society!

As for the original post. Slow down and dont drive beyond your abilities. If you're in the novice/sportsman class, you'll get a podium finish if you keep the rubber side down. Speed isnt important. Hell, regardless of your qualifying position, start at the back of the pack. When the tone sounds, wait a couple seconds and let everyone wad it up in the first two corners while you slowly drive around them. I can just about guarantee you'll come out of the first 2 corners in the top 3 positions.

When I race I want to start in the first, second, or last positions.
