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 :D
Well,that's all i have to say.

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.

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.
