Sahar Zvik was unchallenged in the big-bore classes, taking six wins in six starts at the WERA West Sportsman Series Presented by Lucas Oil Products double-header round August 14-15 at Buttonwillow Raceway Park.

Under a searing central California sun, Zvik took his Pirelli-shod, Wawa Racing-backed ZX-10R to a win in the first race of the weekend, A Superstock, ripping off a best lap of 1:48.718 seconds around the 3.0-mile Buttonwillow circuit.

It would be Zvik’s best lap of the weekend, but he didn’t need more, as he went on to take the Formula One and A Superbike wins later that day, and then swept all three classes on Sunday.

Gio Alvarez ran Zvik hard in the Formula One race, finishing just 5.928 seconds back, and took second in that race and in A Superstock on Saturday. Terry Heard finished second in A Superbike on Saturday, and followed that up with a trio of runner-up finishes to Zvik on Sunday.

In the Mediumweight classes, Mookie Wilkerson also took six wins in six starts, crossing the stripe first both days in Senior Superbike Mediumweight, C Superbike and B Superbike.
