For what officials said was the first time in WSMC history, a racebike was stolen during a WSMC weekend at Willow Springs Raceway, on Saturday.

The theft occured some time between the end of racetrack activities and midnight, when the track gates were locked.

The stolen bike, which belonged to racer Calvin Beck, is a black and yellow 2002 Suzuki GSX-R600 equipped with a Yoshimura exhaust system, a Scotts damper, Pro-Tek rearsets, Sharkskinz bodywork, Galfer front brake lines and rotors and Dunlop D208A tires. At the time of the theft it carried Beck’s WSMC number, 812.

The bike has about 7000 miles on the odometer and its VIN is JS1GN7BA422107651.

Beck is offering a cash reward for information leading to the recovery of the bike. Beck can be contacted at (818) 355-6363 or via e-mail at [email protected]
