As hosts of the very fIrst Honda Challenge at Laguna Seca, we wanted to make extra sure everybody had a great time.
We really did. But when the starter waved the green flag, our generosity ended. Like during the premier event, the'
750 Superbike race. Where a relentless Miguel Duhamel shot out to the lead aboard his blistering Honda RC457 masterfully held off a hard-charging field for all 28 laps right up to the final run through "The Corkscrew;' and took his fIrst
checkered flag of the year. In the same race, teammate Ben Bostrom finished an astonishing fourth - despite a broken
ankle. Erion Racing scored over the weekend too, with Tripp Nobles victorioU$ in the Formula Xtreme on an extremely
hot Honda CB~900RR Okay, we admit it. While out on the track, we may not have been the most gracious of hosts. Yet,
we still can't wait to plan next year's race. We know that as tough as the competition is, it will be one heck of a Challenge.
