Two cars in Cleveland for Rocketsports Racing source: Rocketsports After Rocketsports Racing added another car to its 2006 Champ Car effort with Tonis Kasemets in Portland, the team is ready to move forward this weekend using the knowledge from the past with the aim of top results in Round Six of the Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford season in Cleveland. Rocketsports Racing will be making their fourth appearance at the Burke Lakefront Airport circuit in Cleveland, Ohio. The team's best results came in 2004 with Alex Tagliani when he started fifth on the grid and brought the Rocketsports machine home for a podium finish in the third spot. The team has recorded four top-ten finishes in the five entries they have entered throughout the past four years, and looks to continue its string of solid finishes this season with Kasemets and Nicky Pastorelli. Kasemets is familiar with the 2.106-mile temporary road course as he ran on this track during his Atlantic days. Last year, while running in the Atlantic Series, he competed in a double-header event in Cleveland. Taking the pole position in the first race, he went on to finish as the runner up. In the second race, he started again on the front row in the second spot and earned another top-five result with a finish of fourth. Kasemets made his first Champ Car start last weekend in Portland. He successfully finished his first race weekend. Completing the duration of the Champ Car race marked the longest time he would race a car in his career (by an hour), not to mention in a car that is bigger, heavier, and more powerful than the last racecar he drove a year ago.
