From a press release:

It is with great pleasure that Bruce Lind Racing LLC announces that it has signed Nobuyuki (Nobi) Iso as its principal rider for the remainder of the 2004 season as well as next year.

Nobi, who has been employed by Veloce Racing LLC for many years to ride Aprilia GP bikes in America, Has joined with team owner and manager, Bruce Lind, to compete on Yamaha 250 GP machines in the USGPRU Gran Prix Series and other selected events.

In addition, Nobi has aquired the 2002 Aprilia World Gran Prix “customer” 125 that he rode for Team Veloce racing last year to compete in the USGPRU 125 GP class.

The start of this new relationship resulted in dominate wins at this past weekends USGPRU events held at Portland International Raceway.

Iso-san, who is a regular competitor at PIR, had to start from the back of the field (23rd) in the 125 class due to a cold tire induced crash on the first lap of qualifying on Saturday. A great launch at the green flag allowed Nobi to finish the first lap in 6th place. Nobi moved up slowly for the next couple of laps. At the half way flags, he moved past another rider on the entry to turn one and proceeded to hold a comfortable lead until a red flag ended the race.

Thirty minutes later and Nobi started from the pole position for the 15 lap USGPRU 250 GP race.

It looked like a carbon copy of the previous race. By mid distance, Iso turned a 1:12.2 lap and forced his 1995 TZ250 past Mc New and Wenners’ late model RS250 on the entry to turn one for the lead. The race was again ended by a red flag with the Bruce Lind Racing, LLC rider in first place.

Owner/Manager, Bruce Lind sat out this event, saving his equipment and energy for next weekends USGPRU event at the beautiful and challenging Barber Motorsport Park in Birmingham Alabama.

Bruce and Nobi would like to thank all our sponsors who make it possible for us to continue racing.
