So I set a 1.41.622, a mid lobby A time, in qualifying before I am completely forgotten about and put at the back of the grid of lobby B. confused

Should have been my first time in A lobby since season one of the TCC IIRC.

I then get put on pole of lobby B and win the race by a decent margin, almost 1000ft.

Race two sees me come up through the grid from last and lead most of the race once I took it from RichXM655. A bit fortunate that Chucky 1985 rolled out of the lead on the second last turn before I got there - well, fortunate for me! Then get a terrible run out the last corner on the last lap while Rich gets a good one, we drag down to the line and I am beaten by a tenth of a second.

Gutted on many counts tonight, but delighted to have finally found something I am good at!

Amazing racing in A Lobby tonight - top 4 were inches apart for the whole race. In fact the replay is so good I may just save the whole thing off to watch back. I even think I went through the final chicane side-by-side with Monkey at one point!

best racing ever. Couldn't connect to race 2 than my parents decided they wanted to go out to dinner and let me pick up a new bass guitar amp. Roll on race 2. Pun 100% intended
