Check out photos from this year’s Red Bull Day in the Dirt motocross grand prix

November 29, 2018

Red Bull's Day in the Dirt rolled through SoCal last weekend at Glen Helen Raceway. The three-day event runs each Thanksgiving weekend and celebrates the camaraderie of dirt bikes, along with uniting the Hollywood stunt, film, and motorcycling industries. Racers from all over the world came out for a weekend of fun, including races on a long 3-or-so mile grand prix track.

The first annual XR100 World Championship ran Friday night, followed by the Hell on Wheels MC club hosting separate TT and flat-track races. In between the racing action, folks camped, grilled, and shared tall tales around the light of campfires. Check out some of our favorite photos from the event and see everyone next year.
