OTHG Race News
REM
REM - REM is a place that people either love or hate! I've never heard anyone say that they don't really have an opinion. When you first look at REM you think, "What's the big deal, it's just a bunch of hills!" That is until you ride it! REM is a technical track and will show you your areas of MX weakness!
Our first race of 2015 was no different. An easy looking track, up until you attempt to go fast. One of the things that I look forward to is the start of each moto. At this particular race, the start was a sweeping left hander that many riders were carrying too much speed through and actually drifted wide, leaving the door wide open to sneak up to the front.
Love it or hate it, REM is a track that serves a purpose. It fits into the OTHG race schedule where some vacancies need to be filled. I hear a lot about how we should race Milestone or Perris or this track or race that track. Well, what it comes down to are finances! In order to race at places like Milestone and LACR we must race at tracks like REM, Gorman and AV just to name a few. Enjoy the great tracks and learn to tolerate REM!
