Race one would finally see O'Hara claim his first win of the season ahead of Saddlemen/ Harley-Davidson's Cory West by two-tenths of a second, with Schultz third and West's team - mate Jake Lewis fourth, the top four covered by seven-tenths of a second. Herfoss dropped to fifth, 1.5 seconds off teammate O'Hara. Race two was all West, as Cory led home a Saddlemen/ Harley-Davidson one-two ahead Landers took another podium in third, once again mugging Troy Herfoss on the final corner, just as he did at Brainerd in race two. Herfoss was fourth and James Rispoli, who is having a tough season on the second factory Harley-Davidson, took fifth. In the points, Herfoss is 14 points behind Wyman, 237 to 233. Gillim is 61 points behind on 176 but there's still three rounds to go and a possible 150 points up for grabs. SUPER HOOLIGAN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP The Super Hooligans were back in action at Laguna Seca and the first half of the weekend belonged to defending cham - pion Tyler O'Hara (S&S/Indian Motorcycle), who took pole posi- The Australian remounted for 11th and dropped to second, seven points behind the resur- gent Wyman. If Wyman thought he was up for another win in race two, by his own admission, he didn't want it as bad as Gillim. The current King of The Baggers refused to concede defeat and beat Wyman by a tenth of a second, in the process putting his young upstart teammate Landers in his place. "This is the first time I've had to fight for the win," Gillim said after race two. "I'm happy about it. This is the first time I've had to battle and actually take a win from somebody. At Brainerd, I was feeling good and was able to kind of get away. It's nice to have those wins, but these are a lot of fun. I'm happy." PJ Jacobsen (15) got some payback for The Ridge with two resounding Supersport wins.
