Awesome. Thanks for the video. This leads me to a question. Wind isn't a problem in California? If we had tracks at that height (Yamaha tracks) here and no vegetation we would be blown off the jumps.

Gibby, you need PC or FMF too do some work on the motors of that little drone thing mate, almost missed the last couple of tracks. Smile .

I clearly over thought it. Was not aware Kawi had a test track at Corona. Cheers Team Green

Why exactly are they all right next to each other? Is it because all those tractors are close by and handy?

Chip I think " maybe " the same guy owns all the land and leases it to the teams? I think I heard that before.

And Steve , thanks for putting that up. I had no idea they were all together like that , or at least that close anyways. How far away was Glen Helen from these tracks?

Same reason Walgreens, cvs, drug art, and rite aid are on the same corner.


Same reason oreillys, advance auto parts, Napa, and autozone are all next to each other.


Not really but that's all I was thinking about watching the video. Didn't realize they were that close.

I love the music, seemed so fitting with this video for some reason. It is truly amazing how close these tracks really are! I think its ironic to because everyone comes in saying they don't really know what to expect of their competition, but yet they can most likely watch the other riders from their own track. Suzuki seems to have the best angle too

The motors are fine. There are a couple reasons I didn't head a little further out. One is, Dungey and Anderson were riding on the KTM track, and I didn't want to intrude.

Also, to the left of the KTM and Husky tracks, there's a model airplane landing strip, and there had been people flying there in the morning. They generally don't stray over the tracks (or aren't supposed to), but I didn't want to have a problem with any that did.

I think that Jeff Ward's father in law owns all of the land those tracks are on.
