Round 7 - Dover, Delaware


The Monster Mile that is Dover played host to round 7 of the series.

As with recent rounds in practise I was fastest with a best time of 27.165.

Qualifying went well as I posted the fastest time and secured another pole position (27.132).




The raced turned out to be yet another fuel related disaster.

I kept the lead from pole for the majority of the early laps. However just before halfway I got the 'halfway on fuel' message. I knew that I would either have to pit or if I got lucky run out as I passed the chequered flag.

I decided to pit early so as to give myself enough time to make my through the field. I worked my way up to 2nd with a couple of laps left. I touched the leader as I went for the overtake and received the black flag for dangerous driving! I finished in the pit lane serving the penalty in 17th position.




My best lap of the race was 26.895.

I led 45 of the 90 laps.

I was now 3rd in the Championship standings 30 points behind the leader.
