(Dates in italics are races that bump the “Saturday at the Glen” races off the schedule)

The “Saturday at the Glen” races rotate back and forth between the AMA National track (upper right) and the Arroyo track (foreground).

Val Tamietti (31) was a Maico-sponsored rider during his Saddleback and Carlsbad days, but  like many old Pros from the 1970s and 1980s he is now a Glen Helen Specialist.

Over the Christmas and New Year’s break, Val Tamietti (31) and Marc Crosby were injured in a practice crash that collected both of them when an inexperienced rider stopped on top of the blind tabletop that connects the canyon straight to the front portion of the Saturday track. Even though people were yelling at the rider to move, he sat there until Val and Marc jumped the tabletop, with Val landing on the rider and being catapaulted down the hill, while Marc Crosby missed hitting the rider, but collided into Val Tamietti’s fallen bike on the down slope.

Val is a two-time Glen Helen number 1 rider and a former CMC number 1 rider at Saddleback. In the Tuesday crash he suffered a serious concussion (with a brain bleed), broken spinal appendages, a cracked pelvis and a lacerated bladder. He is still in the hospital after several surgeries. 

Marc Crosby (53) got a concussion and broken hand in the crash. Marc sawed the cast off his hand on Monday and went back to work. Racing is safer than practicing.

We know that both Val and Marc will be back to racing as soon as they heal up. Take the time to heal completely boys. There are a lot of races on the 2025 schedule.
