Spin a lap around the Glen Helen 24 Hour course sometime Saturday night aboard our 3BROS KTM 450 XC-F! Ended up 4th Open Pro after too many mechanical issues, but still had fun ripping around the hills and tracks at night! Day time lap to come soon!

I hope vision was better and after numerous laps in the daylight, I am sure you have the track memorized, but after half a lap in the dark... F**K that!!! No thanks.

The lights look slightly better in person, but most of it comes down to just knowing the track after riding it during the day. The toughest part about night racing is probably the dust! You're practically riding blind at night if 1-2 guys are ahead of you in the faster sections!

Here's a lap during the day so you can see the course a little better. Ended up derailing the chain 6:30 into the lap and had to fix it trailside to get it going!
