New 125 classes, and newly (re)designed track! I was getting into REM MX right before I deployed over here. I recommend anyone near Glen Helen (or any track that has REM racing) check it out. Can't wait until I get back. :)

i raced with them this morning!  WAY fun!  i raced the 125 class.  7 guys on the line.  they said it was kinda light, usually a few more.  still it was a very well prepped track, fun layout and good competition.  the ''new'' obstace is a 6', nearly vertical drop off in the back. as soon as you land you gotta be turning. it's fun. you go thru a ''chicane'' of turns then drop, then on the gas turning up a steep ridge, then another ''chicane'' on top before going down the far side.
i had a hi speed low side get off in my 2nd moto.  going thru a speed turn they had just watered.  bike slid away from me. i slid on my side like a base runner stealing 3rd. jumped up, nothing hurt, so i got back on and continued.  i only lost a couple positions....
