i beat my own expectations in qauli at 11th and landed a good finish in race 1 after some holding up faster guys behind who had incidents in the first lap - hard to pass at VIR
race 2 i should have been at the front of the grid according to the league rules, 3rd maybe -or at least where i finished or qualied in race 1 but NO ... i started 18th(random i guess) -and typed "wtf" at the start (sorry for that) - in the end i got a blistering start and almost hit a car in the brake zone of t1- i had to dive inside to miss as i could not stop in time , think it was tim , had to grab 1st gear and it probably looked a little wild and crazy - confirmed - it was - i dont think i made any contact but probably caught some drivers out - and went right to 5th place on lap 1 due to some of the other incidents - so i gained back 13 places on the straight - 8)
this has happened before and we just sucked it up and im fine with that , but i am not of the opinion it should happen at all - if we have a rule that is dependent on 1 single person being at every event then we need to drop the rule imo - having said that - you dont need paul to do a reverse grid- one of the admins can do it - i dont know how to right now but im sure its easy to figure out - ill volunteer or someone can - with a little planning we dont need paul at every event to ensure the reverse grid gets done - i race in other leagues with this reverse rule in race 2 - its always the admin who enters the order for the next race during warm-up- with admin commands ...so all you need is an admin - his name doesnt need to be paul ...my 2 cents - we need to fix that
