Hi there and welcome to SRS!
The reason you were alone is that you were placed into the lowest split of drivers. As SRS only creates a server for a lower split once the split before it is full ( which in the case of Laguna Seca is 21 drivers), you would have been bottom of the list and therefore the 43rd seeded driver as it was your first race. This ended up in you getting a whole server to yourself in the third split. It happened in my first race here as well.
Once you start moving up the rankings, your seed in the sign-up lists will improve and you begin to avoid this issue entirely.
