Velocity Motorsports joined up with L'Equipe Syrinx Racing to field a car in the Second Annual MIRacing/SIRL FastLap 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on April 19, 1998. More than 55 drivers competed for a spot in the 33-car field, and the competition was fierce. The following is a brief recap of the month's events:

MARCH 16: Two hours of testing at IMS. Turned a best lap of 235.767 mph, almost 3 mph faster than my previous best.
MARCH 25: Two more hours of testing at IMS. Turned a new best lap, 236.025 mph.
MARCH 30: Passed rookie orientation program
APRIL 3: Turned a new best lap in practice, 236.049 mph.
APRIL 4: First day of qualifying. Turned in a lap of 234.263 mph, which put me 6th on the provisional grid. By the end of the day I found myself a respectable 11th, middle of row 4.
APRIL 19: The race. Ran in the top three throughout and led for a while, but tangled with a backmarker on lap 62 and dropped out, finishing 22nd. I had a car capable of a podium, if not the win; it's too bad it had to end that way. In any case, congrats to Mike Bedard, who came through for L'Equipe Syrinx and took the victory.
APRIL 27: Rescore of results gives Rik Anthrax the victory, moves me up to 21st.
