Arclight Suzuki’s Scott Harwell won two CCS races Saturday while preparing for the Formula USA National event, schedule for Memorial Day Monday at Summit Point Raceway in Summit Point, West Virginia. Harwell won the 30-minute GTU race on a GSX-R600 and the 10-lap GTO race on his Dunlop-fitted GSX-R750. The North Carolina rider also took a close second in the Suzuki contingency-paying Unlimited Supersport race behind Brian Stokes, who, according to GSX-R750-mounted Harwell, out-motored him with a GSX-R1000. “We’re just working on our set-up,” said Harwell. “We’re just trying some things, and they seem to be working.” Harwell’s teammate Chris Ulrich showed that he is well on his way to full fitness after a long string of injuries. Ulrich was quickest in Saturday morning practice, took a hard-fought third place in GTO (behind local hero Tim Bemisderfer) and came back to fifth in GTU after a seventh-row start. Defending F-USA Sportbike Champion Scott Greenwood took a second to Harwell in the GTU race on his Argo Cycles’ Yamaha YZF-R6, one spot in front of Bettencourts Suzuki’s Jeff Wood. CAD Racing’s Darren Danilowicz took wins in both GT Lights and CCS Thunderbike on his Pirelli-shod Suzuki SV650. Other top riders who are at Summit Point but said they worked more on their bike set-ups than racing for wins Saturday included Michael Barnes and Robert Jensen. The racing Saturday was set behind schedule by a bad crash involving George “Shawn” Lingwall, CCS Amateur #412. Lingwall crashed during the Unlimited Supersport Amateur race in turn three and was flown to a local hospital with severe head trauma, bleeding from the head and other concussion symptoms, according to race officials who pointed out that Lingwall did not hit any barriers during his crash.
