2020 Glen Helen NGPC
Glen Helen Raceway is a popular stop on the Grand Prix circuit. As a favored practice venue for many of the Pro and Pro 2 class riders, there aren’t many patches of dirt that racers haven’t ridden over. That being the case, the hosting Prairie Dogs MC made a few changes to the direction and sequence of the different sections on offer. This made for a well-received racecourse. Additionally—and for the seventh year in a row—the grand prix was hit with rain…

Honolulu Hills Raceway, in Taft, CA, played host to the second round of the 2020 WORCS series. As is typical in Taft, the course developed lots of square-edged chop. This made conditions both tricky and physical for the riders to push the pace for the full two-hour pro race…

Taft can be a polarizing venue. To explain, the terrain becomes quite choppy, sometimes developing deep, square holes that litter an entire straightaway. If riders choose “good” lines—skating the edges, cutting across the chop and finding some smoother track—joy and speed can be found in that.

Primm is a popular destination on the off-road and grand prix circuit. So, in a bid to change things up, the WORCS crew made two distinct adjustments for the season opener. First, they didn’t touch up the majority of the course after Saturday’s racing. This left the track quite rough and choppy, especially by the time the pro race got underway. Second, WORCS added a pro-only section where riders had to hop over two sets of K-rails…

The final race of the 2019 season went to Lake Havasu City, AZ for the AMA National Grand Prix season finale. The Havasu location is a notoriously rough one.

Chaparral Motorsports, Precision Concepts, Kawasaki’s Zach Bell was looking to maintain his win-streak at the final round…

The final WORCS event of the year featured a long, fast racecourse that wound through the flat, desert terrain surrounding Primm, NV.
