Vesrah Suzuki won the fourth race in the 2004 WERA National Endurance Series–a 6-hour at California Speedway–and took the points lead from Army of Darkness, which finished second.

Vesrah has won three of the four races this season, while AOD has won one race and finished second in the other three.

With five minutes to go, FDK crashed out of third place overall due to a gas leak reaching the rear tire; moments later, HST passed CherokeeChallenge to take the position.

FDK had two laps over fourth at the time of the crash.

Several SV650s expired in the fifth hour, including then-class-leading Dixie Mafia and Yeager Racing.

HST is a local team consisting of Jay Tanner. Larry Pointer, Darren Fulce and Corey Eaton, on a Yamaha YZF-R1.
