I was on good form and feeling confident of a good result at the very fast Las Vegas Motor Speedway when the trucks arrived for round 14 of the series.
The 10 laps practise session went very well as I was fastest after the 10 laps with a time of 32.824.
Qualifying was slightly disappointing as I could only manage a time of 32.897 which gave me a 7th place starting position.
The race start was a nightmare - I had a mare - I forgot that you can't overtake before you cross the start line! I passed 5 cars on the inside and then realised too late what I'd done, black flag came out!
I obversed the black flag the following lap but was adjudged to have speeded in the pit lane so had to serve a second before I could start racing.
I ended up 2 laps down - all was not lost though if I could get one back and then catch a yellow I would, being the 'lucky dog' get a lap back which would put me back on the lead lap.
By lap 14 I had got myself a lap down and by lap 15 the caution flag came out and I was back on the lead lap albeit in 30th place.
