Whitlock Wins Racer X / Malcolm Smith Motorsports N.A.H.A. Pro Hillclimb Series: Round 2 – Glen Helen
Utah’s Brandon Whitlock proved to be the fastest rider at the fourth annual Glen Helen Hillclimb National this past weekend in San Bernardino, CA. After scoring the fastest time of the day with a 10.984-second run, Whitlock backed it up by winning the King of the Hill honors, a special event that takes the top five riders from each class into a one-round winner-take all race For his efforts, Whitlock took home the largest portion of the $15,000 prize money.
Corey Erhardt scored the win in the 451-700cc class while Jason Smith edged our Erhardt to claim victory in the 450cc class.
“I thought it was a really good event,” said multi-time champion Kerry Peterson. “We had a record amount of spectators, and the new hill for the event at Glen Helen really worked out well for the competition.”
“It wasn’t a very technical hill, but you couldn’t afford to make any mistakes to be competitive. Finesse was definitely the key today. The top five riders were all less than a half a second apart, and that’s when you know you have competitive racing.”
