WERA West: Toye Dominates At Auto Club Speedway
Jeremy Toye took a trio of wins in the big-bore classes as WERA West Sportsman Series Presented by Lucas Oil Products kicked off its 2017 season January 29 at Auto Club Speedway.
On a breezy but sunny and warm January day, Toye took a Pirelli-shod Kawasaki ZX-10R to a clean win in the Formula One, A Superbike and A Superstock races, leading all but one lap of competition the entire weekend.
In Formula One, Toye turned a 1:29.855 lap en route to a 3.375-second margin of victory over defending WERA West Formula One Champion Corey Sarros on his Dunlop-shod Suzuki GSX-R1000. Sahar Zvik finished third on his Pirelli-shod Kawasaki ZX-10R, ahead of Christopher Carron and Justin Simons. Aaron Ascher, Tyler Jones, Brian Evans, Henrik van Buttlar and Ken Pfister completed the top 10.
Toye went quicker in A Superbike, with a quickest lap of 1:29.715 to take the win over Carron and Zvik, and quicker still in A Superstock, turning a 1:29.528 to take the victory over Sarros and Carron.
Edgar Zaragoza, who took three class championships in WERA West competition in 2016, continued last year’s dominance of the mediumweight classes, winning the B and C Superbike and Superstock classes aboard his Yamaha YZF-R6.
