Matt Tisdale and Chris Duran took the headlining Formula One wins at the WERA Sportsman Series/WERA West Presented by Lucas Oil Products doubleheader round at the 2.5-mile Willow Springs main circuit on June 27-28.

 

Saturday saw triple-digit temperatures early, and the famous Antelope Valley wind kicked up in the early afternoon. Riding his Dunlop-shod Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, Tisdale, who started road racing with WERA West only 11 months ago, got to the front of the Formula One race quickly and powered in a best lap of 1:24.247. He finished 6.365 seconds ahead of David Price, with Cesar Meza finishing third, less than a tenth of a second behind Price.

 

 

Duran took the A Superbike race, in which Tisdale and Meza crashed in the Willow’s ultra-fast Turn Eight, fortunately with no serious injuries. Anthony Norton was second, ahead of Price. Duran’s best lap was 1:24.267, and he finished 3.668 seconds ahead of Norton. Norton won the A Superstock race ahead of Sahar Zvik and Tyler Bengford.

 

 

Sunday’s temperatures were cooler, but the winds increased, with gusts well over 40 miles an hour and tumbleweeds firing across the track during the races. On his Dunlop-shod BMW S1000RR, Duran took the Formula One race with a best lap of 1:25.473 and a 2.297 second gap over Zvik, with Norton third. Duran also won the A Superbike race, lowering his lap time to a 1:24.297, over Zvik and Norton. Zvik won the A Superstock race over Norton and Ben Gary.
