It's very easy to fall into the trap of "ME7 and SJ can do stage X at 1112112, so if I can't do it at 3312112 I must be a very poor driver (and I know I'm not)", then waste hours and hours, ripping your hair out, not having any fun and ultimately losing the car. While you know that ultimately most SEs are won by most people with a bunch of 3s and 4s.

I know, because that happened to me with Carbon Copy. Then started Victory by Design, followed Amrosa's strategy, enjoyed the FB, and won the car without any skips (pretty rare for me too, as I really don't have the time or patience to repeat a goal for half a day).

So, unless signs start pointing towards me really being able to race like ME7 or SJ or FM changing their SE strategy, this is what I'll budget for and follow as strategy. This is the first update I have done this formally, but I wasn't kidding about the budget, and I hate doing budgets.



Some of the entries, such as WTTT and Level-Ups started as 0, as I wasn't going to assume those, and I update as they occur.

For the C11, I was budgeted for 420, but upgraded to 325 and did my best to make it through. When I hit 8.1 I gave it the old College Try, but eventually gave in, maybe it took me too long to give in....
