WSBK 2000 Ben Bostrom Laguna Seca Crazy Pass

Ben Bostrom gets it way, way out of control going into the corkscrew but somehow manages to get past Edwards. A fine job to stay on the bike, let alone passing someone at the same time!

Commentary from Kevin Magee and Warren Smith.
Thanks to racer69 for recording this one.

i am a great fan of wsbk, and i wonder how much more time i must wait, until race recaps from 2000 untill 2006 will apear in wsbk archives, i sure would like to see the races once more

@szvzs WSBArchives won't be posting recaps from 2000 onwards, his focus is from the 90s. I might try and start doing it in my spare time sometime later this year.

I was standing in the spot I have been going to literally decades, on the outside of the track right at that little flat spot before the Cork where you can see racers coming up out of T6... but you can also see through the saddle at the top of the hill, and see the Start/Finish line, turns one thru four and on past the grandstands. I was basically about ten feet from the lift the camera was that shot them coming up the hill and into the Corkscrew. Beneeee!
