Shawn Higbee took the Millenium Technologies/KWS Motorsports Suzuki GSX-R750 to the top of the time charts during Saturday morning practice at windy Willow Springs. Winds intensified and changed direction today, causing particular problems for riders between turns eight and nine.

During the session, Vince Haskovec dropped a wheel off the outside of the track at the exit of turn six and suffered a vicious crash. He suffered no serious injuries and no one else was involved although his bike shot across the racetrack.
