Shogun Motorsport’s Paul Harrell won the Formula USA Sport Bike race Sunday morning at Willow Springs under nearly perfect conditions, sunny, with a light breeze and temperatures in the 70s, a stark contrast to the weather on Friday and Saturday.

Harrell jumped out front and stayed out front to win 1.6 seconds ahead of Corona EBSCO Suzuki’s Vince Haskovec, who in turn had a 0.9-second advantage on Arclight Suzuki’s Lee Acree, with Acree’s teammate Brian Parriott nearly side-by-side with Acree across the line for fourth.

But in horsepower checks immediately after the race, Haskovec’s bike, built by well-respected tuner Carry Andrew, exceeded the class horsepower limit of 112 horsepower, and Haskovec was disqualified. That made Acree second and Parriott third.

But when it was Parriott’s turn to run on the dyno, his bike, built by Chuck Warren, also failed, moving Synergy Racing Technology’s Marc Palazzo into third.
