Round #3 of the Lucas Oil Regional Off Road Series this Saturday, June 12th at Glen Helen Raceway!
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – Thrilling off-road short course racing returns this weekend to Glen Helen Raceway just a few miles north of San Bernardino, CA. The Lucas Oil Regional Off Road Series (formerly named the Glen Helen Off-Road Short Course Series) is set for another action-packed day of racing Saturday, June 12th. Round three of the seven-round series will feature a variety of off-road trucks, buggies and the ever popular Karts, UTVs, Pilots, Odysseys, Revolts and Stadium Lites! The Karts are mini-sized race vehicle created for kids to get involved in the off-road action at an early age.
“Round three of the Lucas Oil Regional Off Road Series will have the largest racer participation to date!” exclaimed Bob Beyer, Off-Road Director at Glen Helen Raceway. He added, “Now that Glen Helen Raceway is the official home for the Lucas Oil Regional Off Road Series in Southern California our progression towards ultimate success has been rapidly escalated”.
The permanent Glen Helen off-road race track (approx. 1 mile in length) is wide and fast with high-flying jumps, banked turns, double-jumps, plateau-jumps and much more! The thrilling “land rush” starts get the action going right from the wave of the green flag. The off-road race vehicles travel at top speeds on the front and back straight-aways while flying through the air and sliding sideways into the corners.
Another exciting feature added for round three is the Powder Puff race specifically for the ladies and is scheduled to complete a full day of racing action. Several of the existing series teams have committed a female driver for the Powder Puff race along with a few new teams joining the competition this Saturday. The Powder Puff competition should prove to be very fun and entertaining for the race teams and the spectators to enjoy.
