WSMC – Classic Series – April Jeremy Toye fought his way to the front of the Toyota Cup Unlimited Formula One race at Willow Springs, winning the club’s new 20-lap main event and taking home $3000 in purse money for the win. Riding his Lee’s Cycle-sponsored, Dunlop-shod Suzuki GSX-R1000, Toye moved to the front at the halfway mark and led across the stripe every lap afterward, taking the checkered flag 0.410 seconds ahead of Karl Lowry. For Lowry, on a Graves Motorsports/North County House of Motorcycles and Dunlop-sponsored Yamaha YZF-R1, it was the first time this season that he did not win the Toyota Cup race. But Toye and Lowry were in a class of their own, as the next finisher, Robbie Dowie on the Advanced Kawasaki-sponsored Kawasaki ZX-10R on Michelins, was more than 26 seconds back at the finish. Jeff Stern, Brant Wiwi and Tim Knutson rounded out the top six. Lowry took wins in Open Superstock, 600cc Superstock, Open Superbike and 650cc Superbike. Former AMA Superbike series regular Shawn Higbee won the Heavyweight Twins class on a new Buell 1125R.
