American Honda-sponsored Jeffrey Tigert took his time picking his way through the field, pushed his Dunlop-shod CBR1000RR to the front and cleared off to win the Toyota Gold Cup Unlimited Formula 1 race at the Willow Springs Motorcycle Club meet this weekend.

In chilly conditions, Tigert ran a race-best 1:21.999 on the second lap en route to a 5.571 second win over Lowry, the reigning Formula 1 Champion.

“I made my move when I should have, I never looked back, I ran my own race,” Tigert said.

Lowry, who led the opening laps, held second for much of the race, and was demoted to third briefly by Brant Wiwi on a Pirelli-shod, West Coast GP Cycles-tuned Yamaha YZF-R1.

“I got a couple of pretty good moments on top of the hill,” said Lowry, who took second for the second straight month on his Graves Motorsports-built, Dunlop-shod Yamaha YZF-R1. “I was looking down at the front tire coming over (Turn) Six. That’s not good.”

Wiwi pushed his way into second on the seventh lap, but couldn’t hold off Lowry and eventually finished 4.008 seconds behind Lowry.

“When I saw the door open, I had to take it,” Wiwi said. “That one pass made the whole race worthwhile.”

Tigert also took the wins in Open Modified Production and Open Superbike, while Lowry took his Yamaha YZF-R6 to wins in 650 Superbike and 600 Superstock.
