Jeremy Toye won again in Toyota Cup F1 action at Willow Springs, but Stoney Landers was the tough guy of the blazing-hot August 15-17 WSMC weekend.

Landers crashed Sunday morning, highsiding at the exit of turn five, doing minimal damage to his GSX-R1000 but breaking bones on the outside of his right hand. His crew got the bike back together with borrowed pieces (like a brake master cylinder reservoir) and Landers iced his hand. Once back on track, Landers found a way to hang on, holding the right handlebar with the first two fingers of his hand only and hanging the broken part of the hand off the end of the bar, so the broken bones wouldn’t receive as much pressure. He discovered that method of riding after first positioning his entire hand on the bar and feeling sharp bone points jabbing his flesh.

On Sunday in 100-degree F heat, Landers and his broken hand finished second to Honda R&D rider and second-generation racer Jeff Tigert in Open Superbike, beat Clinton Whitehouse to win Open Modified Production, finished second to Dale Keiffer in Open Superstock, and then gridded up for Toyota Cup Formula One.

In Formula One, Toye continued his dominance of the class, and extended his points lead, with a wire-to-wire win. Toye was followed early-on by Landers and Kieffer, all three on Suzuki GSX-R1000s. Toye steadily pulled away, while Landers and Kieffer continued to battle with each other and were caught by Jeff Stern on another GSX-R1000. Tigert charged from dead last, following a stop-and-go penalty for jumping the start, to take his Suzuki GSX-R1000 up to second by the halfway mark, but was unable to make up time on Toye. Tigert brought it home for second and Landers ended up getting the best of Kieffer for third. Stern’s Dunlop rear tire exploded exiting turn nine on the final lap, but he was able to keep it on two wheels, and limped home in sixth.

Tigert had started his weekend with a win in Saturday’s 20-lap, 50-mile Solo GTO race, and Toye also won in 750cc Superstock and 750cc Superbike.

Englishman Mark Watts won three races on his Yamaha TZ250, leaving the field behind in Roadracingworld.com 250cc Grand Prix (beating John Ulrich and Jason Dave), Formula 40 Lightweight (beating Mark Hargis and Ulrich) and Formula 2 (beating young guns James Mann and Chris Siglin).

Chuck Graves won more of his own money in Graves Motorsports 650cc Superbike, beating Mann, Robbie Dowie and Siglin. Graves also won the 600cc Superstock race from Mann and Siglin.

Steve Atlas won Saturday’s Solo GT-Lights race on a Suzuki SV650, finished second to Danny Ayala and ahead of Scott Cleff in 550cc Superbike (which allows SV650s), and beat Ayala, Pete Ellis and Cleff when it counted for contingency money, in Middleweight Twins.

1970s AMA 250cc star Howard Lynggard continued his run of victories in Formula 50 aboard his Yamaha YZF-R1, beating Chris Crowell on his Honda and long-time series contender David Molitor on his Suzuki GSX-R1000.
