Default YFZ at the races, Glen Helen, Ca

Here are some pictures from the races yesterday at Glen Helen racway, California. Cory Ellis brings out his new YFZ for the races. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Lots of YFZ's as a matter of fact and some were showing well on the day.

Jeremy Shell, Kory Ellis, Doug Eichner 2nd moto pro race 1st lap.

2nd Lap Shell and Ellis break away from the pack and Eichner. The next few are a series of pictures entering and leaving a turn.

Jeremy Shell doing his best to hold off Ellis and his YFZ.

Jeremy Shell gases his KFX to stay in front.

Ellis crashed after this behind the mountain. He was on Shells *** the whole race until then. Trying inside then outside to get around. Had he not crashed he'd have passed and pulled away from Shell. AJMHO.

Both Shell and Ellis won their 1st motos with nobody else even in contention.

Here's some jumping pictures.

Some Crash pictures.

The first one the Banshee rolls once, then in the next picture the Predator hit his quad and started rolling down the hill.

The begginning of a pile up, at least 5 quads slammed into this.

When am I gonna see you out there Sam? Other than possibly fatigue I think you'd do great. It's a fairly rough track for sure. I knew once you seen the YFZ's in person you'd be a little bit impressed. Stock for stock they are hard to beat. There was possibly 10 YFZ's at the races and at least 4 of those guys could actualy race. At least 2 of those 4 won 1 or both of their motos. That includes Eliss's 1 moto win. Should have been a sweep, again, JMHO. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
