2-Strokes and Good Times

Still Smokin'

The 2-Stroke World Championship at Glen Helen Raceway attracts thousands of dirt bike lovers for a gathering unlike any other across the USA. It is a statement of youth, bringing back the nostalgia of our past. From the ’70s to the late ‘90s, the sounds, feelings, and riding styles of 2-strokes were the identity of our culture. Once a year, we all get together to throw down in the same style as back in the day. In the months leading up to this race, we always put all our effort into building some badass 2-Stroke race machines. This time, we built a Pro Circuit YZ 250 for Ryan Villopoto and worked with twisted development to dial in a race machine for Justin Heoft. Both bikes underwent rigorous testing and had all the bells and whistles; they were fast and mean. It was one hell of a day, and the racing was intense. Glen Helen was overflowing with 2-Stroke fanatics; the place was buzzing! RV was hauling ass. He Got the holeshot in Moto #2, and the fans went crazy. Seeing this dude having fun at the local races was so rad. Justin took home the overall win! The battle between him and Carson Brown was a nail-biter. Props to both of them for riding such a fast and clean race. This one was so epic to witness.

Cheers to our crew, the racers, and the spectators for the good times!
