You're not describing a race condition, you're just describing a set of sequential asynchronous operations. You just have to nest everything inside your exec call. There are techniques to make it look less ugly, such as flattening out your callbacks into named methods and using async<https://github.com/caolan/async> .
The standard solution to an actual race condition is a lock<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(computer_science)> .
