My apologies to all and most especially to the sport of Autocross, my impending
divorce has nothing to do with motorsports what so ever. In fact things being
hard at home is why I've been mostly absent from events for the past couple
years, why I sold my 240Z ITS car to James, and why my 300ZX sits lonely under
a dusty car cover with only the occasional spin on Skyline for exercise.
Thank you all for the amazing response, I've got a huge pile of emails of
support and suggestions and it means an incredible amount to me, thank you all
very much.
-Carl

Is it too late? Are you going down that dark path?
I have struggled as many of you know. However I have surrendered
to my family. I have too much to loose. I think most of the people
in the sport are Single, Have no children, Or are completely unlovable.
There are a few exceptions, But very few.
I think as Barry Spencer has told be, The Family must come first.
It's hard to explain to your spouse the importance of competition.
They will never understand why you must go to all the events.
Good luck to you and anyone else that may be going through a
similar experience. I hope you don't end up in a divorce.
Especially over something like this sport.

> My long festering AIDS case has finally gone terminal, so I'm in need of
professional help. As I know some (many?) of you on this list have had to
cope with Autocross Induced Divorce Syndrome before, I thought I would ask
here for suggestions on where to find competent legal council, preferably in
the San Jose end of the bay area. Please send serious replies privately.
Jokes & social commentary of course can go back to the list, at least until
Vic gets angry about off-topic posts again... ;-)
