2026 Kawasaki KX450 at Glen Helen Raceway: 2/24/26

Описание: Late morning sprint laps from another fun Vet Tuesday at the world-famous Glen Helen Raceway. It's hard to beat eighty degree winter days with sunshine and no wind! Tag along for some proper practice and take a look at the current layout. Those racing the upcoming NGPC off road event would be wise to study this track design, along with the current vet track to familiarize oneself with Glen Helen's notoriously challenging grounds...


As always, thank you for watching and enjoy.
