This is what it’s all about. Super Hooligan Racing—thunder, chaos, and pure American horsepower ripping through WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for Race 1 of the Mission Super Hooligan series.

From the drop of the green flag, the energy was electric. James “Ripper” Rispoli snagged pole position after a blistering qualifying session and was lined up at the front of a rowdy grid stacked with top-tier talent: Cory West, Cody Wyman, Andy DiBrino, Travis Wyman, and more. With eight laps on the board, there was no time to waste—and the action lit off immediately.

Early Breakaways & Tight Packs

Cory West, on the number one bike, wasted no time getting out front, showing the form that made him the class of morning practice. But James Rispoli wasn’t about to let him run away. Trading paint in the early corners, Rispoli slipped up the inside out of Turn 3 and never looked back.

Cody Wyman launched hard from row two and fought tooth-and-nail to stay in podium contention, but the pack behind him was relentless. Andy DiBrino, coming off a rough start, began slicing through traffic, hungry to reclaim his position up front.

Back-and-Forth Battles

The middle laps were a masterclass in aggression and strategy. Rispoli and West set the pace, both dipping into the 1:28s—serious lap times on these heavyweight machines. Behind them, Travis Wyman and Andy DiBrino traded places nearly every corner, with Jason Waters lurking just behind, ready to capitalize on any mistake.

DiBrino’s corner speed was undeniable, but the horsepower of the Harleys meant he had to pick his battles wisely. He'd make up time mid-corner, only to lose it on exit to the torque-rich twins. Still, he stayed in the mix, pushing Travis to the limit and making bold passes into the Corkscrew and Rainey Curve.

Final Push to the Line

With two laps to go, Rispoli put in the fastest first sector of the race, leaving nothing on the table. He glanced over his shoulder, saw he had a gap, and began the celebration before even crossing the line—earning his first-ever Super Hooligans victory and backing it up with a pole-to-win performance. A huge moment for the KWR Harley-Davidson rider.

Cory West came home in second, and Cody Wyman rounded out the podium in third. The fight behind was just as thrilling, with DiBrino clawing his way to sixth behind Travis Wyman in fifth and Jason Waters in seventh. Cory Alexander, Hunter Dunham, and Hawk Mazada completed the top ten.
