June 1, 2010 - Glen Helen Raceway, CA - "This
has been an
absolutely amazing experience," exclaimed Colin McCaughey from Perth,
Australia, who was one of the eight "Golden Ticket" winners for the
United States Grand Prix motocross race at Glen Helen on Memorial Day
weekend. Talk
about being a kid in a candy store, Colin used his all-access ticket at
the USGP to see everything from the starting gate to the finish line as
well as behind the scenes in the pressroom and race control.


"I still can't believe I got one of the Golden Tickets," claims Colin.
Strangely enough this sweet deal was dreamt up by a dentist: race
promoter Bud Feldkamp is not Willy Wonka, but an actual DDS. Susumu
Ishii from Tokyo, Japan,
and Daniel Stinson from nearby Yorba Linda were the final two winners
drawn on Friday afternoon. Stinson, who ironically works All American
Asphalt in Yorba Linda, was the last guest treated to a couple days in
the dirt.


Ishii and Stinson join the aforementioned McCaughey from Australia;
Howard Surtees from London, England; and Oda Haensch from Loehne,
Germany. The lucky locals included Stinson, Timothy Scott from
Torrance, Michael Tubbs from Simi Valley
and Taralyn Barbula from Riverside. As much fun as the winners had at
USGP at Glen Helen, the Golden Tickets will really pay off in Las
Vegas. Each of the eight Grand Prize packages includes a two-night stay
at
Michael Gaughan's South Point Hotel
, dinner for two at the Silverado Steakhouse and a pair of South Point show tickets.


Each week two (2) Grand Prize packages were awarded via random drawing
(for a total of 8 during the promotion). Check the Glen Helen Raceway
website
www.glenhelen.com
to see the drawings from 5/10/10, 5/17/10, 5/24/10 and 5/31/10.

"I am glad that we were able to reward winners from around the
world with this sweet deal," quips Feldkamp. "Since the best motocross
racers in the world competed at Glen Helen Raceway for the USGP, it
seemed only fair to
award an equal number of the Golden Tickets to GP fans visiting us from
other countries."


After the race, the winners can now redeem their Golden Tickets at the
South Point Casino, located just off the world-famous Las Vegas Strip.
South Point's incredible amenities include the 16-screen movie complex,
a 64-lane bowling center
and an array of restaurants to suit any taste. The casino features top
table games and the latest slot and video poker machines. The spacious
rooms feature 42-inch plasma TVs, Point Plush mattresses and WiFi
throughout. There is also a
400-seat showroom featuring headliner entertainment and dancing to live
bands on weekends.

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.

thousands of dollars into its facility, culminating in it becoming
