Dustin Nelson wins the Quadcross Pro ATV
Racer Invitional at Glen Helen's AMA Motocross
season opener |
This was the first time since High Point started
having quad races back in the ‘90’s
that the quads have raced there on Memorial Day
weekend as the High Point round is usually scheduled
for Father’s Day because the bikes are usually
racing High Point on Memorial Day weekend. However,
this year the bikes were racing at Glen Helen,
due to a change in their normal outdoor schedule,
which was also the scene of the Yamaha / ITP Quadcross
Pro ATV racer Invitational. Despite inclement
weather in the usually sunny southern California
location, there was still a large crowd in attendance
watching as Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson took
the win. “It was a fun event and hopefully
there will be even more of a quad turnout next
year,” said Nelson.

| Once
again, the ATV Motocross Nationals was attended
by a record crowd of over 700 racers including
28 Pro Racers along with a impressive spectator
turn-out as well, which flocked around the
fence to watch all the racing action on
a beautiful Memorial Day weekend |
Large crowds were also the norm at High Point
as more than 700 riders signed up to race along
with a impressive spectator crowd. The 28 pros
that showed up to race were treated to sunny skies
and warm temperatures in the mid 80’s, which
was a nice change from the mud and rain that has
been a factor at several races this season.
