Round 20 - Homestead, Miami Florida


Round 20, the final round of the series took place at Homestead Miami Speedway in Florida.

I had to get a good result to stand any chance of haing a championship top 10 finish.




The 10 lap practise session went well as I was fastest with a time of 38.377s.

Qualifying did not go too well as I had to be content with a 14th place grid slot with a time of 37.983 even though this was faster than my practise time!

In the race I managed to climb through the field to get into 8th by the halfway mark. However a lapse in concentration as I was lapping some back markers in the last 5 or so laps saw me get my first black flag for in several races.

The black flag penalty cost me a lap and with only 2 laps to go I was fortunate to finish 22nd.

My fastest lap of the race was a 38.261

So a disappointing finish to complete the season. 9th in the championship, 392 points behind the leader was a big improvement on the previous season. Next season a top 5 should be possible.
