Tigert Wins Formula Pacific Championship for 2003

With regular front runners James Randolph and Mike Raab sidelined due to injuries, Jeff Tigert went on to take the Mach One Motorsports Formula Pacific win this past weekend at Infineon Raceway, with David Stanton finishing second and Rob Mesa third. Tigert’s win was the finish to an almost perfect season, winning six of the eight Formula Pacific rounds, in addition to setting new lap records at every AFM track. As a reward for his efforts, Tigert’s Dunlop-shod GSX-R1000 will be wearing the AFM number one plate for the 2004 season.

Tigert also took the win in the Zooni Leathers Open Superbike race earlier in the day, with Mesa crossing the line five seconds behind Tigert to take second.

Chris Siglin took the win in the Werkstatt 600 Superbike race on his 2003 R6, marking a milestone for the young rider as his first head-to-head victory over Michael Earnest. Earnest took the Keigwins @ theTrack 600 Production win earlier in the day, beating Siglin to the line by a scant 1.5 second margin.

With the help of tuner Kenny Norman, Siglin charged from the fifth row of the grid on his GSX-R600 to take the win in Formula One. Scott Wilson finished almost eight seconds behind Siglin to take second, on his Blue Streak Racing GSX-R750.

With the AMA 250 GP class becoming a thing of the past, Ed Marchini and Jeff Leggitt decided to make appearances at the final AFM event of the season. Marchini and Leggitt crossed the line first and second respectively, but disqualified themselves after the event so that they would not affect the championship point standings. Kelly Winkelbauer, who crossed the line in third place on his TZ250, inherited the win for his first AFM Formula II victory while usual winner Jeff Beck rode conservatively to finish fifth and wrap up the championship. Sean Case finished second on his Honda RS250, his first AFM Formula II trophy finish.
