Jeffrey Tigert started slow, but steadily worked his way to the front and took home the $3,000 check for winning the Willow Springs Motorcycle Club’s headlining Toyota Cup Unlimited Formula 1 race. Tigert took his American Honda-sponsored, Dunlop-shod CBR1000RR into sixth place at the end of the first lap, up to fifth by the second lap, fourth on the third lap, where he bided his time for several circuits of the facility’s 2.5-mile main course. At the halfway point, Tigert quickly moved up the ranks, into third on lap nine of 20, second on lap 10, and into the lead on lap 11 a lead he never relinquished. Jeremy Toye, on a Dunlop-shod Roadracing World project CBR1000RR, took second, 1.3 seconds adrift, with Karl Lowry on a Graves Motorsports Yamaha YZF-R1 in third, another 1.5 seconds back. Other than the Formula 1 race, Lowry ran the table in the big-bore classes, winning Open Superbike, Open Modified Production and Open Superstock. Lowry also finished second to Michael Beck in the 650cc Superbike and 600cc Superstock classes; Beck also rode a Graves-prepped Yamaha YZF-R6.
