If you can succeed you will. If you can't you won't. If you are truly a phenom you won't be surrounded near the end.
I love how new racers think they can have a "plan" going into their first race. It's kind of like having a "plan" for the first time you get laid - it doesn't go exactly the way you thought it would, but it was awesome....and it was over real quick for a lot of you guys.
