Pro race was killer.. Zac Bell pretty much ran away with the 1st moto then in the 2nd moto Durham had a decent gap most of the race with Bell closing 2+ sec on the last lap and making the pass for overall right at the finish. I was sitting on the line watching and after 31 pros on 2 strokes doing a 20 min moto the track was challenging to say the least!!

Full results and laptimes here: http://www.glenhelen.com/results/


Bell and Durham certainly put on a show in Moto 2! Without one or the other, it would have been a runaway. Last lap pass from Bell was his fastest lap of the race - 2:34.458

From my perch near the Log Cabin over/under, the final lap highlight was Bell launching about 2-3 bikes farther than anyone all day into the sand section; Knew right there it would come down to the checkers Cool

Luv the sound of the 250 2 strokes starting at the gate. As an old school 2T racer I do miss the racing at the top AMA pro level like it use to be. Hoping to make this event next year. Good times !

Truly saddened I missed this race again at the home court. Hope everyone had a kickass time.

Darryn looked pissed at the end of that video. Video was sweet I thought.

Kind of wondering why there wasn’t anything about this race on the homepage?

Was Bell's pass actually right at the finish line WFO like that?? Did Durham let up too early, or was Bell just unstoppable?? This race looked amazing

Yes it did, glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed. Makes me miss the sound of well-tuned, perfectly jetted two strokes.

From 2:11-2:13 in that video you can hear the difference between Darryn and Zach’s riding style as they rail that corner. Zach was more aggressive and stayed on the gas to hold it in the powerband through the corner while Darryn was more finesse and smoothly downshifted into the corner and accelerated out of it.
