“I had a great time out there,” Reed said. “It was good to get a couple of races under my belt and see where I am at with my preparations for 2012. The track was tight so it was important to get good starts. I had a crash in the first race but still came through to second. As a team we learnt a lot and it will definitely help our preparations for 2012."
