ollowing an opening weekend in the 2017
Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Champion-
ships, where Monster Energy Kawasaki's Eli
Tomac seemed to be so dominant that he could
win no matter where he started, round two at
Glen Helen must have come as a surprise to just
about everybody—not the least of whom may
have been Tomac himself.
Glen Helen put both Tomac and his teammate
(and hometown boy) Josh Grant through the
wringer, but the classic California racetrack wasn't
done there. In the 250MX class, the hills of Glen
Helen even did a number on the most successful
race team in the history of the 125/250MX class,
forcing three out of the four Monster Energy Pro
Circuit Kawasakis out of one moto each.
