Glen Helen Raceway: Vet Track Laps

The Vet track, Arroyo track, forever to me REM track at Glen Helen is the place to practice basics and have a good time...Ride along for a few afternoon laps! Be sure to set it at 1080p for best experience.
With a sore knee from an earlier tip-over, it was best to work some fundamentals on a less challenging track at this point in the day. At Glen Helen Raceway, riders have the option to ride the national track, back track (as pictured), and stadiumcross track. Each brings something different to riders of all ages and abilities.

Definitely the best place to get some good consecutive laps in.

Thanks for posting. It's quite instructive to watch someone going much faster than I do on a track I actually ride. At least I can think about hitting some of the corners and jumps a little faster.

Looks fun. Never been to a track only desert gonna hit it up this weekend maybe

Thanks!! Gives me some stuff to work on Thursday. That little step-down after the off camber left is a bit tricky. Cool to see your line and power delivery.

Good eye. That step down was slick in the afternoon session, and the outside approaching it may be the better option when either dry and dusty or slick from watering. Just remember, smooth is fast and have fun with it. Cheers

Is this a good beginner track? I’m in a 150 2 stroke and on,y have been to the track 3 times so far mostly ride desert

[@CasMoto]

Oh yeah, this back Vet track and the Stadiumcross track are the best spots to learn. Once you get comfortable on these, that's when you can venture out on the National track on slow afternoons. Enjoy the track riding and future Glen Helen days!

What day did you go? Looks pretty empty, what days are the best?

[@CasMoto]

This was a Tuesday moto session and they are good days for Vet track riding. Thursdays, especially 4P-Dusk, are great too. Saturdays can be busy and they race frequently on this track, but it's still good. The rare Sunday open practice days have to be the best...Never a bad day or time to be riding at Glen Helen!
