It was a crazy race, filled with attrition and controversy, but in the end Roadracingworld.com’s Chris Ulrich won the AMA 750cc Supersport race at Laguna Seca by 7.968 seconds over Daigoro Suzuki and Tony “The Tiger” Meiring. As Ulrich worked his way up from a bad start, AMA officials black-flagged Rich Alexander, who was racing Jimmy Moore for the lead, for what turned out to be tire smoke. Pole-sitter Vincent Haskovec crashed early-on. Ben Spies caught Moore and they battled for the lead, Spies rubbing Moore off on traffic in the corkscrew and Moore crashing. Moore restarted, his bike clearly leaking oil, but was not black-flagged by officials. Spies crashed two laps from the finish, which left Ulrich in the lead. Spies restarted but his bike was stuck in first gear because the shift linkage had been broken in the crash. Genuine Suzuki Accessories 750cc Supersport Final Results: 1. Chris Ulrich 2.
