Second was World Superbike regular Jakub “Kuba” Smrz, who was at Willow Springs to race the Toyota 200 the following day. Smrz, riding a Suzuki GSX-R1000 for Vincent Haskovic’s Czecher Hypercycle squad, finished ahead of Jason Curtis on the No Limit Motorsports, NLA-sponsored Suzuki GSX-R1000. Jeff Stern, Karl Lowry and Chris Duran rounded out the top six. Curtis took a second in the Open Superbike race, following Jason Perez to the line, with Chris Duran finishing third.
