AMA Pro Superbike racer David “Aussie Dave” Anthony won three races, including the featured Toyota Cup Unlimited Formula One event, during the opening round of the 2012 Willow Springs Motorcycle Club (WSMC) season Sunday 15 at windy Willow Springs International Raceway.

Riding his Pirelli-shod AMA Pro Superbike-spec Suzuki GSX-R1000, Anthony won the Open Modified Production, Open Superbike and Toyota Cup Unlimited Formula One races.

Anthony faced stiff competition in the Open Superbike and Toyota Cup Unlimited Formula One events in the form of Shawn Higbee, who rode a Crotchrocket.TV-supported EBR 1190RS.

The two riders exchanged the lead during both races, but Anthony came out on top by a narrow margin each time.

Zareh “Reno” Karimian, riding his Cyclemall Motorsports Kawasaki ZX-10R, finished runner-up to Anthony in Open Superbike and fourth in Toyota Cup Unlimited Formula One. But Karimian was the big winner during the WSMC 2011 awards banquet held Saturday night, taking home the 2012 Toyota Tundra grand prize in WSMC’s annual drawing.

Karl Lowry finished third in the Open Modified Production, Open Superbike and Toyota Cup Unlimited Formula One races on his Cyclemall Motorsports-backed, Bridgestone-shod Yamaha YZF-R1.

Bryce Prince won two races, 750cc Superbike and 650cc Superbike, on his Team Rotobox/Nexx Yamaha YZF-R6.

The event was held in windy conditions that made the races extra challenging, according to several riders.
