I did better than Las Vegas because I feel better with the team and with the car. I think we made good progress with the car and I know I still have some room to improve as well. There are still a few things we have to work out but we are heading in the right direction." 18th - Matt Lee #44 Mazda-Cosworth/Swift/Cooper 1:18.270 "In practice this morning we had a mishap in turn one and I couldn't get the car back. The team managed to fix the car which allowed me to get at least ten minutes of qualifying time so I did not really have the chance to drive the car. I only had three hot laps but tomorrow is a different day and a new start."
