Vesrah Suzuki led handily at the end of the first hour of a WERA National Endurance Series 6-Hour at California Speedway in Fontana, California Saturday.

Vesrah’s Tray Batey took the lead at the start of the race and pulled away until the event was red-flagged with about 11 minutes on the race clock; CherokeeChallenge.net had crashed, with the bike lying on the racing line.

The race was restarted with 38 minutes on the race clock, and Batey needed a lap to regain the lead from Team Velocity’s Bradley Champion. CherokeeChallenge made the restart.

1. Vesrah Suzuki, 28 laps
