USGP Paddock Pass Grants All-Access


International Motocross Returns To America!

Pit Pass For USGP At Glen Helen
All Access On May 30th

April 29, 2010 - Glen Helen Raceway, CA - The
best motocross racers in the world will be coming
to Southern California's Glen Helen Raceway on May 29-30th. This event
also marks the return of the historic U.S. Grand Prix (USGP) concept of
pitting America's best against the world, but best of all spectators
will be offered an
unparalled opportunity to immerse themselves in the event via the
all-access Paddock Pro Pit Pass program.


Last contested at Glen Helen back in 1992, the return of the USGP to
Southern California recreates a slice of history and serves as a
fitting tribute to the 30th anniversary of an American first winning
the USGP. Diehard fans still
remember when hometown hero Marty Moates piloted his privateer LOP
Yamaha to victory over the seemingly invincible MX racers from Europe.
Glen Helen Raceway owner Bud Feldkamp is one of those who remembers
what a monumental achievement
Moates' victory was and hopes to recreate that magic. "It has been a
life-long dream of mine and the staff to have this extraordinary World
Championship event at Glen Helen."


Former GP racer and long time U.S. Motocross/Supercross competitor
David Vullemin offers some added insight to this world class event.
"There are going to be four great motos of racing with a deep field of
talent," says the
Frenchman. "Many Americans may not know all the names in Grand Prix
racing, but the level of competition is close and it should make for
some good racing! It's a two-day format with a 25-minute qualification
race on Saturday for the
gate pick on Sunday."


Fans can see their favorite racers up close and personal as the USGP
pits will be open Saturday May 29 from 10am-6pm for the qualifiers. For
Sunday's main event, the Paddock will be open from 9am-6pm. Cost is
only $30 for both days, plus
admission. Children 6-12 get a reduced rate of $15, plus admission for
both days. Unlike Supercross where you get shooed out of the pits prior
to racing or the AMA outdoor national MX races where you have to leave
by noon on race day, fans
can stay in the USGP Paddock all day to watch your favorite riders
before and after their races.


Tickets for the "Race of the Century" as the USGP is being billed, are available at the Glen Helen website
www.glenhelen.com
as well as at participating local Yamaha dealers. Reserved camping is also available for $50 per spot.

Glen Helen: Racing At Its Best Since 1985 - Located
North of
San Bernardino in the area of Devore, Glen Helen Raceway is set on 256
acres against a mountain side making for great course. Glen Helen
Raceway started back in 1985, hosting several Sand Drags, Off-Road
events and Motocross races. In 1990
Glen Helen Raceway hosted its first major event, the United States
Grand Prix Motocross and again in 1991 and 1992. After hosting the
USGP, the Glen Helen Raceway venue became an internationally known
track. In 1995 and 1996 two more major
events came to Glen Helen Raceway, the Off-Road Winter Series and the
AMA 125/250 MX Nationals. Addition of these events to Glen Helen
Raceway's roster helped the facility become of one of the most seen and
raced on tracks in the world.
Today Glen Helen Raceway has added more race tracks and has put
thousands of dollars into its facility, culminating in it becoming
Youthstream's choice to bring back the historic USGP race. See more at
