PERFECT OFF-ROAD TESTING AND RACING OPPORTUNITY AT GLEN HELEN BAJA CUP ON JANUARY 9

San Bernardino, Calif. – Is your team getting ready for the upcoming 2010 desert racing season? The Baja Cup Challenge Off-Road Race on Saturday, Jan. 9, 2010 at Glen Helen Raceway is perfect for testing and race vehicle shakedown. The Baja Cup Challenge is an off-road race designed for desert-style trucks and buggies on a 4.5 mile natural and man-made race track in the Inland Empire.

The two-hour Kar Tek Pre-Run and the new race format will be key elements. The truck and buggy classes will race for one hour, have an hour break and then return to the race track for one more hour of competition. “The new format will provide teams a perfect testing opportunity, a chance to work on the race vehicles and the ability to switch drivers/co-drivers during the break”, states Bud Feldkamp, Glen Helen Raceway President. He continues, “Teams can utilize the Baja Cup for real race testing and have a chance to win the event purse with a very affordable entry fee.”

The entry fee is $300 for trucks and buggies with 66 percent payback for the purse. The entry fee for UTV’s and Trophy Kart classes will be $50.

Glen Helen Raceway gates open at 6am for move-in and set-up on Saturday, Jan. 9th. The Kar Tek Off Road Pre-Run is from 7am-9am, open to all vehicles to view the race course. Racing action will begin at 10am as the truck and buggy “Challengers” thunder on the race course, followed by Trophy Karts and the UTV race. Glen Helen will also open on Friday, Jan 8th from 12pm-10pm for early move-in and pit set-up for race teams. Overnight camping is free.

Several excellent spectator areas are available for viewing the off-road racing action. The gate fees are $15 for adults, $10 for children 6-12 years old and under 6 is free.

whos going to race this weekend and bob are we still running 2 one hour races?

[BBM Racing]

Yes, the event is scheduled for 2 one-hour races per group for the trucks and buggies. If the entries support it, we will race two groups (everyone will be scored in their individual class).

This will allow one hour in between each race for vehicle adjustments, driver/co-driver changes, fueling, etc. It's also an hour to spend with the team, family and friends before the racing action begins again!

See you there Barry!
