Buell Pro Thunder action at Laguna in 2000 with Mike Smith (No. 911) leading the way with Richie Morris (No. 9), Mark Ledesma (No. 17), Shawn Conrad (No. 1), Thomas Montano (No. 14), James Lickwar (No. 5), Wes Pogue (No. 128) and others giving chase.
Conrad took the victory with Jeffrey Nash and Lickwar rounding out the podium finishers.
Nash went on to win the championship on his Advanced Motorsports Ducati 748 over Smith and Dale Corser. The series was supposed to bring together a variety of Twins and Triple-cylinder motorcycles, but the Ducati 748 became the dominant bike of the championship that season.
