First laps of the day at Glen Helen Raceway

Full transparency: Early AM motos are not my specialty. I'm a #LateBrigade rider by nature, waiting for the track to tack up and lines to develop naturally. However, on this particular Sunday, Pops' and I arrived at Glen Helen Raceway earlier than normal to chase some cooler temperatures as Summer heats up.

The 2026 Kawasaki KX450 continues to work flawlessly, and with 50-hours of ride time she's good and dialed in. Having a stable and confidence-inspiring ride is even more critical when out of your comfort zone, as I was when hitting the track right on time at 8AM. Follow along as patience is exercised and water puddles/mud bogs are dodged!

As always, Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy.
