MXA’S WEEKEND NEWS ROUND-UP: WHEN THE CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN, BE SURE TO BE THERE
• GLEN HELEN OFFERS A $10,000 PRO PURSE FOR THE MAY 16 “STOPWATCH NATIONAL” WARM-UP RACE
Josh Mosiman talks to Bud Feldkamp, the owner of Glen Helen Raceway, about the upcoming “Stopwatch National” on Thursday, May 16th. Originally this was scheduled to be a one-lap timed challenge, but they decided to turn it into a two-moto race format, with 30-minute plus 1 lap motos for the 250 and 450 pros combined. They will pay the top ten, with the winner getting $4000 (which is what a 250 East/West Supercross rider gets for finishing second in an AMA Supercross and more than a fourth place rider gets in a 450 Supercross).
Also coming up on March 30 is the 2024 Wiseco World Two-Stroke Championship. It pays big money to the Pasha 125 Pro class, Pasha Over-30 125 Pro class and Pasha Over-50 125 Pro class (Pasha 125 Pro bikes can run 150cc engines). Of course, the stand-alone Open Pro class will be paying purse money also.

SOCAL RACERS BID FARWELL TO RANDEL FOUT
Randel Fout, with his golden locks flowing out of his helmet, was a member of the MXA wrecking crew and we will miss him.
MXA test rider Randel Fout was a one-of-a kind guy, he was super friendly, lent a helping hand to any racer in need, was incredibly fast for a 66-year old (proven by the fact that he is the current Over-65 World Vet Champion). For the MXA guys he was a fountain of mechanical know-how. He took meticulous notes on every bike he tested, kept our test bikes in excellent condition and could fix flats and change tires in record time. Unfortunately, Randel passed away two weeks ago while competing in a cross-country race at Glen Helen Raceway.
The “Saturday at the Glen” racers did a Parade Lap for Randel Fout on the day of his beachside Memorial.
For those who didn’t have a chance to say a proper goodbye, Randel’s family threw a beach party at Oceanside Harbor Beach this past Saturday, just a stones throw from the sailboat where Randel lived,. Glen Helen’s Lori Wilson, put all the races that held the most riders who had close connections to Randel early in the “Saturday at the Glen” motocross schedule so they could lrace their motos and leave the track in time to get to the beach. In addition, there was a a parade lap in honor of Randel with over 100 riders doing a lap of honor in Randel’s name.
The three sons, Jake (left), Josh (right) and Logan (center).
This photo of Randel with his youngest son, Logan, was on display in Randel’s race van.
A friend of Randel’s from Wisconsin sent this photo of Randel on his Maico back in the 1970s.
Randel’s family flew in from Illinois and Wisconsin to be with his sons Josh, Jake and Logan and for a chance to meet Randel’s friends. There was a photo display inside Randel’s van, special Randel Fout memorial T-shirts and a Kawasaki KX450 with his original AMA Pro number on it at the beach get-together.
There were special Randel Fout T-shirts for his friends at the Oceanside Memorial.
As a fitting farewell, the attendees waded out into the ocean to pay their respects to Randel’s surfing background by splashing water into the air. The water was 58 degrees.
Logan Fout says goodbye to his dad.
Of course, most of the attention went to those loved ones he left behind, his brothers, friends, racing buddies and family, but most of all to young Logan Fout, who at 11 years old has had the most important man in his life taken from him. In order to help secure Logan’s future, a Go Fund Me page has been set up specifically for Logan, and the generosity of his motocross friends has been amazing.
