One of them was Josh Hansen. Quite a few Kawasaki riders use the lower track before Monster Cup, as it usually gets a refresher right before this race. While the upper track, K2, doesn't until after. So for now, any Kawi supported Pro, or amateur in the All-Star cup. would be riding the lower track next to the freeway.

What would Kawasaki be able to do "if" they'd ended up with -2- Title Sponsors?

Think they could run more than 2 guys?

Kawi has tracks there too? Geez. I was talking about the one that you can see from the 15. Next to the storage units or whatever.

My bad, did Peters refresh K2 though? The lower track always looks way more enjoyable (dirt-wise). Laughing

The ones at Glen Helen are leased to Pro Circuit, not Kawasaki.

In Corona there are a total of nine test tracks, counting the Kawasaki track by the freeway.

In Team Green's second picture:
Bottom of picture, two tracks side-by-side, those belong to Yamaha.

Middle/ far left of photo, that track by itself is Honda's.

The three tracks above that, which seem to be side-by-side, are actually on a mountain side at different heights. Left; Suzuki, middle; K2 (kawasaki), right; Troy Lee Designs.

Then at the top of the photo there are two tracks side-by-side next to a little RC aircraft airfield. The left one is new and is Husqvarna's and the one to the right is KTM's.

Honestly, KTM and Husqvarna guys share their tracks and the TLD one fairly regularly. (BTO guys use any of them as well).

As for Yamaha's tracks, the one to the left is more commonly used. The one on the right used to be for L&M only a few years back.

Geico Honda leases a track at Milestone because their access to Honda's Corona track is usually limited.

During Supercross season, it's more common to see Kawasaki supported riders at K2 (PC, Babbits Arenacross, Nick Wey, TwoTwo) then the main track by the freeway.

Cool explanation. I went and checked all these out in January/Feb when I came out for A3. Missed anyone riding them though, only saw people prepping the tracks. The K2 and TLD ones were what I was unsure of the most. Hung around the little RC place because it looked like people were waiting for others at the Husky track. But got too bored.
Hahn was sniped yesterday.

Are all these tracks pretty close to Glen Helen? The reason I asked was when we flew out on Monday morning , my buddy pointed out where GH was and it looked like I saw some other tracks around that area. Not sure what I saw honestly.
