Jeezus! Even though it doesn't look like anyone got hurt too bad, it's still hard to watch. I felt myself wanting to shout at the guys to run back and warn the incoming riders instead of hiding in the bushes.

That's a LOT of racers on a blind track in super dusty conditions. Just lucky no one got really torn up in that mess.

I've raced on the Glen Helen long course. Yeah, the dust is just crazy. Can't see sh*t in some sections.

Thanks for the reminder of days past. :OMG:

Yikes!
Reminds me of riding night motocross at Perris Raceway back in '71 or '72.
Stadium lights inside and pitch black downhill outside the oval.
I thought "this is insane, someone could get killed doing this".
That was my last night mx adventure!
