Jeremy Toye returned to WSMC action after missing two months–racing in Macau in November and recovering from injuries suffered in a Super Motard crash in December–to win the featured Toyota Cup Unlimited Formula 1 race on a cool but calm Sunday at Willow Springs International Raceway. Toye rode his Lee’s Cycles Suzuki GSX-R1000 on Dunlop 16.5-inch slicks.

Toye immediately jumped out into about a three-second lead in the F1 race but Corey Eaton, riding a HyperCycle GSX-R1000 prepared by Carry Andrew, chipped away and reduced Toye’s lead by a second at about the one-third point of the 12-lap race. At that point, one of Toye’s crewmen sauntered out to the hot-pit wall and waved at Toye, who then stretched his lead to about three seconds again and held it there to the finish.

Behind Eaton came an entertaining battle for third involving Jack Pfeifer, Stoney Landers and Robbie Dowie on GSX-R1000 Suzukis, Chris Siglin on a GSX-R750 Suzuki and Tony Meiring on a ZX-6RR Kawasaki. Meiring put together a last-lap charge from turns one to six–where his 600cc Attack Kawasaki was more than competitive–and built enough of an advantage to hold off the riders on larger machines in the run to the finish line. Pfeifer was fourth ahead of Landers, Siglin and Dowie.

Eaton, Meiring, Landers and Dowie ran on Dunlop tires, with Pfeifer on Pirelli tires and Siglin on Michelin tires.

Meiring won the Golden West Trailers Formula 2 and the 600cc Modified Production races, both times beating back-from-retirement Marc Palazzo on a Yamaha YZF-R6, and finished ahead of Siglin in California Race Services 600cc Superstock.

Toye won the Open Modified Production race ahead of Dowie, Eaton and Landers, and did it running a Dunlop qualifying tire that theoretically shouldn’t have been able to finish the six-lap race distance despite cool pavement temperatures. Toye also won the Open Superbike race from Landers and Pfeifer.

Landers, who celebrated his wedding anniversary at the track on Saturday, won in Open Superstock. Eaton used a GSX-R750 to beat Will Eikenberry and his California Superbike School Kawasaki 636 ZX-6R in 750cc Modified Production but Eikenberry beat Eaton in 750cc Superstock. Eikenberry also won the Formula 40 Lightweight race, beating John Ulrich and his TZ250. Siglin won the Graves Motorsports 650cc Superbike race on a Yamaha YZF-R6, ahead of Palazzo and Eikenberry.
