I heard a rumor that someone is trying to move the last National back to Glen Helen? Who would want to do that if he has such a great thing at Pala?
Thats the 2nd promoter I hear kissing ass who runs tracks or races in SoCal.

Sucks they can't work it out and we keep going to Pala multiple times in one series.
Imagine with me for a second, we have a weekend with 2 races happening at the same time. One is the MXGP world championships at Turkey, and the other is an AMA national at Pala.
Oh wait, that's actually scheduled to happen this year. It's like a competition for who can have the worst-looking motocross facility on the planet.

It would be great if each track got a national, maybe that will happen one day.
That said, why do you have to post this stuff in such a childish manner?
There’s apparently a rumor that 2X Promotions is trying to bring the Nationals back to Glen Helen.
Did I get that right?
Even though 2X could run the event, you still have to deal with the track owner wanting to run things his way.
And unless MX Sports is trying to use 2X to do their bidding 2X is not popular with many SoCal tracks let’s just leave it there.
I bet if again an independent arbitrator was brought in things could be resolved to make both parties happy but DC did not want that.
I wish all sides the best, they could go back to Elsinore and offer them a deal. I hope where ever it ends up I wish them the best because politics of business should be each side makes money.
I cannot work at Glen Helen because of one person and it’s not Lori or Bud. So it was time to go. Miss it a little but loving the time away. 8 months I retire from work and let your tax dollars pay my way of life.

It is my favorite track, even though it takes me 1-1/2 hours to get there every week from Temecula. The brutality of that place makes every other track feel smooth by comparison.
I think the truth is that the nationals need Glen Helen more than Glen Helen needs the nationals at this point.
GH doesn't need another event to be successful.
And while we are on this topic, having a season ending event either at Fox or Glen Helen in September is not the best time of year for either track - A lot of racers got sick from the heat last September at Fox Raceway, not only my Dutch friend Elzinga, but even the guys who were used to it that train in the heat
crazy idea - how great would it be to have Glen Helen as the opener - then Fox Raceway the very next weekend as round two, and Hangtown as round three next year? If nothing else I think a lot of racers would like that set up.
Period.
If 2X can come to terms with Bud? (Meet his requirements)
Well, shiiiiiiiiiiiit!
That would be good for EVERYONE.
I am a fan of Big Dave’s family and all the racing they’ve made happen in my lifetime.
I truly thank them for all of it.
From the very 1st LL’s (as a racer) to sooooo many AMAZING Nationals (as a fan)…and even a few GNCC’s as a “mud hole helper”…
I love them for making all those events happen & what it’s meant to me.
Thank you, all.
And, I’m grateful to Bud for keeping Glen Helen…well, shit…he’s kept it GLEN HELEN!
Thanks Bud!
Then there’s the simple fact that our sport has a business side to it.
Business gets sticky and people have their own way of doing things.
“And Therein, As The Bard Would Tell Us, Lies The Rub!”
Shit happens.
Relationships get strained.
But, BOTH parties are here for the same reason…
They love this shit.
Period.
I believe.
If someone doesn’t like my opinion I’m sorry it’s just mine alone. To think what I have said in the past thru today has any influence on any one or event needs to rethink.
My opinion is no different than yours and can be completely different than mine and I’m ok with it. I would bet and am probably wrong but 95% don’t have a clue what it cost to hold a race and that’s fine.
If it goes back to Glen Helen for the sake of fans and all the other bullshit is left out I hope it’s a great event, if it stays at Pala I wish them the same. I don’t plan on working any of them.
My opinion of people is mine. If they don’t like it that’s there issue. No one is just plan mean maybe just misguided. No one is perfect.
than man-made slopes . . .
That said, I'm going to enjoy racing the 2 Stroke Nationals at Glen Helen in a few weeks! I've went to a few nationals there, but this will be my first time racing (or riding) the track, and the last race of my 50s. It'll be a good way to sign out of my 50's.
Glen Helen is a great track. I hope things can be worked out so it's back on the schedule.
