Thru the snow-capped mountains of Colorado, on a mission for warmer racing weather, we’re on our way to southern California’s premium Ultra4 event, The Glen Helen Grand Prix. Have you heard, there’s over 70 drivers showing up for this Saturday’s race? “It’s going to be big” would be an understatement, outside of King of the Hammers this race is shaping up to be the largest Ultra4 event of the year. See everyone there!
