I went to Glen Helen today. Pretty fun track.Very fast.Lots of elevation changes.Lots of sand and I suck at sand.It was good to work on corners today.No jumps to speak of.One table in the front before the finish line.That's about it.DV12 was there.Looked good.Was working on sections mostly.Didn't see a lot of super fast guys.#34 Engle kid was going good and some others I don't know.I think the Saturday race has everyone traveling today.So,Perris Saturday morning before Steel City starts? :D

Nice swap to almost yard sale coming off the table jump. The only jump to speak of and you about ate shit on the landing. Glad to see you rode out of it. I have some pics, I'll email you later if they turned out.. Who was 24 on a Yamaha? Dude was fast. Hard to take pics of you when you only do 4-5 laps at a time.. lol

Laughing Laughing Laughing I'm glad someone saw that! Dude my butt was puckered! I'm noticing more and more that my fused right wrist does not like landing short OR sideways.I caught that lip that had a bit of a rut and it kicked me sideways.Add that to coming up short and having whiskey throttle after 5 laps and you have a recipe for disaster.I was REALLY glad I rode it out.Decided to limp back to my pits for some prayer.Smile Hope you saw me a little when I wasn't goon riding.Did you see that dude on the quad keeping up with me? He was flyin'! I couldn't shake him.Talked to him in the pits afterward.He's a pro quad racer.Just got back from some race in France.I was NOT gonna let him catch me!Blush

Hey trip my name is Bryce Stewart and I was number 24. Im still using my loretta number. Also what about the quads? They totally mess up the track for all of us and are sketchy to pass. Does GH really need an extra 60 buks for the few quads that come out?

I am sure if you gave them the 60 bucks they would tell the quads to pound sand .

How often does Glen Helen have races or nationals for quads? If Glen Helen is getting up 400 riders for quads then they should have their own practice day.

I am thinking 3-4 a year, but a lot come from out of town so no need for their own day of practice, but from what I heard they get more Quads then they did motorcycles for their Yamaha Summer series, everything has been down since the National and even the National was down. I was happy with my event, good turnout I was scared when I first got there, but people came later !

I also got an email saying that Milestone hired a new track builder/preparer, so hopefully that goes well too !

Yes, I was wearing a black old faded fox shirt, backwards hat too. I haven't put them on the computer yet, so not sure how they all look. If they turn out I'll post them on here. I'm sure I got some good ones of you though. Guys who ride like you make it easy to get good shots. Guys like Friday are just as fun, but you have to follow them everywhere. You never know when the big swap is coming. lol Just messin Friday

Friday, I may have a shot or two of the quad following you. I'll post pics later.

Trip,what time did you get there today? I was there at 8:25. Only one guy on the track. I did a Euro 40 minute moto. Then you must have showed up.I was 25th in that last practice.Moved up to 10th and swapped off that jump and decided my wrist had had enough.Decided to call it a day.The American air is hard to breathe.Wink I really did do about 5 motos but,you are correct.After 4 or 5 laps I'm in the pits.If you can't click one off of me in 5 laps,what kinda shutter bug are you?Grinning But,yeah I'd love to see any photos of me you have.I just have a few rides on this new bike.Thanks.

The pics really look alot better bigger, so if you want them emailed to you let me know. I have a few more of both of you guys, but these ones were the best of the bunch.

Friday, the one of you in the turn came out good. I was trying for that Glen Helen signage in the background in that turn. Problem was only a few took that line, cool that you did.
