Herfoss actually won the three-lap Challenge race but was dinged five seconds for jumping the start, dropping him to third, with Wyman taking the $5000 win from Gillim's team- mate, Rocco Landers. However, come race one, it was all Wyman, as the factory Harley-Davidson rider topped the nine-lapper by 2.6 seconds over the constantly improving Landers, with Gillim 3.4 seconds behind in third. It was a disaster for Herfoss, who has seen his title lead evaporate over the last three rounds after he crashed on the exit of the penultimate corner while fighting with Land - ers, his second consecutive baggers-race crash. he's not totally out of the title chase, in reality, it's between Gillim and Yates, with the former leading the latter by seven points, 151 to 144.

Andrew Lee (Motorsport Exotica BMW) and Benjamin Smith FloLaw Racing Yamaha) completed the top five. Race two didn't quite go to plan for Gillim, with a third-place finish, meaning he only gained one point in total for the weekend over Uribe, who carded another second place but this time to first- time class winner Ashton Yates (Jones Honda), who withstood Uribe's constant presence to emerge three-tenths of a second to the good at the flag. The win hoists Yates to third in the series on 112 and while ROUND 6 / JULY 12-14, 2024 WEATHERTECH RACEWAY LAGUNA SECA / SALINAS, CALIFORNIA ROAD RACE I MOTOAMERICA AMA/FIM NORTH AMERICAN ROAD RACING CHAMPIONSHIP P86 Corey West (13) pulled off the race-two Super Hooligans win and moves to within eight points of the title leader Tyler O'Hara (1).
