Track Description
Glen Helen is what you can describe as a purist’s
Motocross track, a 5th gear start stretch sends you rocketing towards the
Talladega bowl turn, as the racers spread out you will soon find yourself
at the elevator jump which launches you up “Shoei Hill” (the
smallest of the three monster up hills) upon reaching the top you will make
a hard right turn and launch down only to be greeted by the steepest of
the three hills “Mt. St. Helen” which boasts an elevation of
2020 feet. As you approach the summit, a quick right turn sends you towards
an equally impressive downhill. A few turns later you’re on your way
back uphill, this time its “Yamaha Hill” (elevation 2060’),
back down you’ll go as you reach the 130’
tabletop. A few, bowl turns, coupled with
long wide-open straights, step-ups and tabletops
later, and you’ve just completed your
first lap. There are no Supercross style
obstacles, just pure Motocross. The track
surface is slick and hard packed, anything
not packed down tends to get very marbley.
