Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Ohio plays host to round six of the Champ Car World Series 2006 season this weekend. source: conquestracing.com Both Mi-Jack Conquest Racing drivers, Andrew Ranger and Charles Zwolsman, have good memories of racing on the 2.106-mile temporary road course last year and wouldn't mind having some to bring back next year. Andrew Ranger, who sits fourth in the Championship standings with 89 points, qualified a career best of fourth last year for the Grand Prix of Cleveland, finished eighth, and ran as high as third. This year, Ranger would like to put in another strong performance throughout the weekend. Since the beginning of the season, the Canadian has finished at least four positions higher than where he started, which has enabled him to receive the point for most improved driver in four of the last five races. "We were quick in Cleveland last year, it's where I had my best qualifying result with a fourth place. It is a track that I like a lot, there is plenty of space and I have good memories from last year when I was fighting with Alex (Tagliani) in the lead group," said Ranger. "We have been improving since the beginning of the year and I have a good feeling that we will be competitive again in Cleveland." 2005 Atlantic Series Champion, Charles Zwolsman, also has fond memories of Cleveland. The Dutchman participated in a double-header last season in the Atlantic series. He started second and first, and claimed the top-step of the podium in both races. Zwolsman, who is currently fifth in the Rookie-of-the-Year standings with 46 points, admits that the width of the track takes some getting used to.
