Randy Pobst: 鈥淓very Time I Come Out of The Toe of The Boot ...

And, every time I come out of the toe of the boot, memories just fill my head. I put together a good lap with a lot of help from [teammate] Jeff Altenburg. He towed me two-thirds the way down the track. I passed him coming out of the toe of the boot and just rammed it home. I really got to thank my personal sponsors Team Janika Racing, Weathertech, and APR Tuning for supporting me. "

Pobst finished second to Altenburg in the opening two rounds before a frustrating weekend at Lime Rock, where he qualified 12th and finished 11th.

A driver on a roll is Sofronas. After finishing a career-best second at Lime Rock, Sofronas qualified his No. 29 Global Motorsports Group/Techmark BMW 325Ci second—equaling his best effort—with a fast time of 2:05.970 (97.166 mph).

Crash.net's British GP Blog: Saturday.

Rizla Suzuki manager Paul Denning confirms that there will be a third GSV-R in MotoGP soon - but it could arrive in 2009 rather than next year. Spain's racing legend Jorge Martinez Aspar, who has achieved success as both a rider and a team owner, would expand from his operations in the 125 and 250cc classes and run the team.

"2009 could be easier in terms of logistics, but it's not necessarily the case that it won't happen until then," Denning said. "We would like to work with Aspar and the Suzuki factory really want to do this."

The delay, if there is one, would be caused by Suzuki's desire not to divert attention from their factory team when riders John Hopkins and Chris Vermeulen are now pushing the Ducati-Yamaha-Honda big three. They also want to ensure that they can give Aspar the backing that a team owner of his stature deserves.
