The following is from Glen Helen Raceway...
In addition to hosting the best modern day motocross racers in the world, the U.S. Grand Prix at Glen Helen is bringing back legendary heroes from the past. The third round of the FIM Veterans Cup series will be held in conjunction with the USGP in Southern California on May 29-30th. Headlining the list or racing heroes that will be competing is former 125 SX champion Jeff "Chicken" Matiasevich.
Joining the ageless Matiasevich at Glen Helen on May 30th will be a host of heroes, including former USGP and Motocross des Nations winner Chuck Sun; multi-time World Vet champ (and San Jose SX winner) Doug Dubach; former Honda and Suzuki factory test rider Rich Taylor, Monster Energy/Team Green Vet racer Matt Tedder; Arizona hotshoes Drey Dirks and Ed Foedish and Noleen/J6 racer Clark Jones.
In addition to the MX greats, off-road legends like Team Husqvarna's Ty Davis and KTM's Paul Krause are signed up to face the European "regulars" like defending champ Mats Nilsson from Sweden. The Swede has been perfect in VMX competition this year, sweeping both motos at the Veterans Cup rounds in Italy and The Netherlands.
Former full-time GP racers Kurt Nicoll from Great Britain (who has been tearing it up in Supermoto competition the past couple years) and Kiwi legend Darryll King are coming out to show the world they still have the speed that made them threats to win every time they lined up. Watch for King to give Mats Nilsson are run for his money considering he is the 30-time! New Zealand MX champ, 4-time Australian champ, ranked in the top five in World GP 6-times (including vice championships in 1997 and 1998) and the outright winner of the Belgian, French and German GP's in 1997.
