Tyler Morin wrote:Well i have some sad news,this year will be the last year for the Southwick National,the owners of the track have been debating about this for the past year,and they've finally made the decision,here is what was posted from Facebook (please note this person know's the owners of the track real well,so none of this is BS..even though i wish it was because i live 20 minutes away from southwick.)
It is with a very heavy heart that I post this news. Rumors have been flying and I am here to tell you that this will be the last national at Southwick Motocross. Diane and Ralph have given much thought and consideration to this and have decided its time to call it a day.
I would like to see a record number of people there to show our appreciation to Diane and Ralph for their many years of dedication to this wild and wonderful sport! Please buy local. It makes a big difference if you purchase your tickets at the track.
So basically,if you're going to the race,it would mean more to Diane and Ralph (the owners) if you bought your ticket at the track. But...they aren't shutting down the track,so there WILL be local races. Well,on the bright side of things,we will be getting another new track next year![]()
Well,that's all i have to say.

Re: Last Southwick National
This sucks, all the good tracks are going away. Probably will be replaced with some track built on flat ground...

It really sucks that it's all about the money. Too bad nationals can't provide more to the promoter than they do.

Re: Last Southwick National
Such a shame, not only for real life, but also for mxs. I always liked southwich a lot. One of the best tracks ever. Let's hope hosts picks it up for some side events/championships.
