The iconic hillsides of Glen Helen Raceway hosted the 28th annual Day In The Dirt, aka MX Woodstock, over Thanksgiving weekend. Just like in years past, the forecast for this year’s event called for a 50-percent race, 50-percent party, and a 100-percent good time. It’s a race where fun takes precedence over results—well, at least for most who came out to Glen Helen.

For the past 28 years, many current and former pros come together alongside movie-industry regulars and good old-fashioned weekend warriors for what DITD supporter Fasthouse calls “The Fastest Party In Town.” Stacked gates and perfect weather were on tap all weekend, with Justin Hoeft coming out as the big winner in the final Coup de Grace race.
The toughest and most looked forward to event of the weekend, the Coup de Grace, capped off the festivities with a 90-minute endurance-style race on the Grand Prix course. Josh Mosiman led early on, with Marvin Musquin (KTM) and Justin Hoeft (Kawasaki) staying closely in tow for the first half. After an exciting battle with Musquin, Mosiman eventually ran his stock Yamaha fuel tank completely dry just before the hour mark and was forced to limp back to the pits for fuel. This gave way for Musquin and Hoeft to take over the battle for lead until a rear brake issue relegated the KTM rider to second.
Fasthouse’s own Hoeft managed to steal the win away in his first race aboard his new Pro Circuit Kawasaki 450. Musquin, who rode a 250 against the larger 450s, still finished second despite his mechanical issue.
Off-road champ Sam Pretscherer raced his new SLR Honda CRF250RX in the Open Pro division and rounded out the podium in his debut race with the new team.
Italian pro and former MXGP racer Giulio Nava impressed during his trip to the States. He raced a Husqvarna TC 300 to the win in Saturday’s Pro race before backing it up with another win in the Two-Stroke Open moto and a second place in the Stunt GP.
Other notables such as Ryan Villopoto, Patrick Evans and Tyler Bereman showed up for the Team Race and the 805-fueled afterparty. CN
