Well, tbh maybe I was reading a tone in your posting that was not present (doubt it, but anyways)
That was my second entry that morning on my alt I recently started running. Every race on alt prior to these was no qual.
Anyhow I wanted to get a victory for a friend, already had 4-5 podiums in the six or seven races I had run. I kinda have a thing for some reason against handling cars, but that’s just a personal bit. Anyhow the r8 that flew off across my bow was in either third or fourth, can’t remember, nevertheless after a lap or two I was in third and the fella behind, looked him up, think he was mid 50k or some such. I can’t remember the qual times exactly, not sure if the pole sitter was a 17. Or low 18...This was the second in a two race sequence, the first had Turismo Lester on pole position so I knew I had no chance there. What’s funny is those first three or four knew each other because they were trading jabs pre race chat...On my main account, I have battled with been beaten by or beaten players with top ten on the server qual many times.
So I hope we can be more cordial in our interactions here. I don’t usually put up videos or do that stuff, I just like the experience provided by the game, and I enjoy writing war stories and the community here. For some reason I get a sense that you are quite competitive, and I love that, it’s great everybody is. I just think maybe we have gotten off on the wrong foot.
It’s nice racing in BS lobbies for me, because I can race comfortably, without warm up as long as I keep it clean on the alt, or race in events I never run and suck at from the back. So, anyways, I hope we can be friends.

Here’s some stats from both...I am sure you’re probably a plus, and have more points, but I don’t care. I know how much effort I have put in and time, and I’m not embarrassed to show stuff.
I just like having fun, although at times I can lose my cool.
Edit, the alt stats couldn’t fit, but after ten days it’s like 28k 99, although this week I did put in a carefully measured qual in on that, wait it went to 97 after my rage quit...Guess you don’t lose much when you are lowest in a room of a plus and a...
