Attack Kawasaki’s Josh Hayes rode a 2004 ZX-10R to win the featured F1 race during the final WSMC weekend of the 2003 season, at Willow Springs International Raceway.

Jeff Stern won the 2003 WSMC Overall Championship without challenge, the lone other title contender (and defending Champion) Jeremy Toye missing the November WSMC weekend to race in Macau and missing this weekend due to ribs broken in a SuperMoto crash.

And Kenny Kopecky, the only Operations Manager WSMC has ever had, announced that he is quitting his job running the club after 12 years and is moving back to San Diego. Kopecky received a standing ovation of appreciation at the riders’ meeting after making his announcement.

Stern crashed in turn five early in the F1 race, bringing out a red flag, but he was uninjured and his drive toward the overall title undiminished. When Stern fell, Hayes was out front and sailing. At the restart, Hayes again took the lead and checked out, while Stoney Landers held second on his Superstock GSX-R1000 and Chris Siglin and Corey Eaton battled for third and edged closer to Landers. At the line it was Eaton just ahead of Siglin, followed by a charging Will Eikenberry on a Kawasaki 636 ZX-6R.

Hayes was also in a position to win the Open Superbike race (leading by eight seconds) when he pulled into the pits on the final lap. According to Attack Kawasaki Team Owner Richard Stanboli, Hayes didn’t want to interfere with his friend Stoney Landers’ race for the Open Superbike class Championship.

Landers won the race and the Championship.

Hayes also pulled out of the Open Superstock race with electric shifter problems, but according to Stanboli, Hayes planned to pull out of the race anyway because his bike was AMA Superstock legal on 17-inch Dunlop slicks but not WSMC Open Superstock legal.

Overall, Stanboli said Attack Kawasaki’s effort with Hayes at Willow Springs was simply to get him more comfortable on the new ZX-10R.
