I had not nearly enough time to come up to speed on this track, squeezed an hour of pratice into my sunday schedule and qualified 10th. Got hit in T1 (thats what you get starting so far back), but carried on nonetheless, slow but steady. Moved up a few places due to others failing, did an uneventful pitstop. All worked out perfectly, given the circumstances. Night fell slowly and despite fumbling witht the switch at the start, headlights were off. I thought "I have my hands full now, I'll wait til the straight comes up to switch them on" - and that was that. Bam- disqualified. If I had read the race anouncement thoroughly, I would have known that race control is very strict with that. So I can only blame myself. Frustrated, but hey. Mid-Ohio, here we come!
Grats to everyone for a very clean and professional race, there are some mighty quick people out there.
