Proving once again that weather forecasts are to be taken with a grain of salt, about 60 WSMC racers enjoyed a cool, calm day at Willow Springs International Raceway despite weather predictions calling for strong winds.

WSMC offered riders who had already renewed their licenses for 2003 a special deal on Saturday: All-day practice for $50. Riders who had not yet renewed their licenses could renew on the spot and qualify for the discount, or not renew and pay $100 for the practice day.

The practice day was divided into 20-minute sessions with two groups, riders capable of turning lap times under 1:30 and riders turning lap times over 1:30.

Vincent Haskovec was on-site testing Pirelli 16.5-inch front and rear slicks on his GSX-R750, running a race distance stint late in the day.

New WSMC Overall Champion Jeremy Toye was testing with his GSX-R1000.

Ambient temperature at the Rosamond, California racetrack was about 40 degrees F when practice started and peaked at about 60 degrees F in the afternoon.
