IT WILL USE PORTIONS OF THE UPCOMING USGP CIRCUIT ~ LOTS OF NEW STUFF AND SOME SURPRISES!

With the World Two-Stroke Championship scheduled for this Sunday, Glen Helen has been busy working on track designs for this weekend’s race, the May 16th $25,000 National warm-up race and the May 30th USGP (not to mention the weekly Thursday practices). The turn around the “twin trees” has been widen in both directions for Thursday. This should allow two lines in and two lines around the left that leads to the front straight. Two-Stroke riders will go to the top of Mt. Saint Helen (and face a surprise at the bottom).

The Log Cabin jump has been put back into the track, which means that Talladega will be used on every lap.

The second turn (after Talladega) no longer goes straight, but turns 240-degrees and goes over a tabletop before turning left to go up Shoei Hill.

The front straight has been turned in a series of rolling jumps and step-ups that should allow everyone, from the slowest Vet to the fastest Pro, to find his own line into the double hairpin turn down at the bleacher corner. Two-stroke riders of all skill levels will find Glen Helen to be tough, but there are no scary doubles.

You can see Mt. Whitney in the background (behind the two-story sign-up building.) Mt. Whitney will be in the Grand Prix layout, but not in the two-stroke track.

Glen Helen is currently removing all of its fencing so they can get a fresh start on building the USGP track. Once the GP track is built, the fencing will go back up. About half of the World Two-Stroke track will cover the same ground as the Grand Prix.
