Zip Ty Racing wins Glen Helen 24 Hour
Jardine Sponsored


November 18, 2008

Ty Davis' Zip Ty Racing pulls together to win the brutal Glen Helen 24 hour endurance race held October 11/12 at the famous raceway.  Anything can happen in 24 hours of racing. So the team that can deal with anything is the one that usually wins the 24 Hours of Glen Helen. The 2008 edition of the Southern California classic took place from 10:00 a.m. Saturday to 10:00 a.m. Sunday and as usual it was a thriller that came down to the end. At hour 22, Team John Burr was leading with Greg Schnell on the Kawasaki KX450. But Nick Brozovich of ZipTy Racing was closing in. All night long, ZipTy had been nibbling away at John Burr's lead after repairing an ignition failure that cost the YZ450 team almost an hour. But some amazing nighttime performances from Kevin Urquhart, Kevin Rookstool, Brozovich and Ty Davis himself had brought the two teams together for a showdown in the final hour. The 10.5-mile course was once again designed by the Dirt Bike staff, and included every kind of terrain that could be found in and around the Glen Helen facility. The National motocross track was connected to the REM track and the SRA GP course. The San Bernardino Sheriff Department also cooperated by allowing the race to run through their EVOC street pursuit training facility, and Glen Helen Regional park also opened up for the racers. Connecting it all was a network of single-track and fire roads that got tougher and tougher as the race progressed. Overall it was considered one of the more challenging courses in recent years.
