- This is a little documentary film we made way back in 1981 having to do with American Legion Post 338 in Southwick Mass and the motocross track they created for the kids. The track has fallen on hard times and has closed but the memory of those very early days lives on in this film. Meet the men who started it all. Before motocross turned into a big corporate business it was just kids and their families having some fun. Enjoy!
I’m not sure who created this little documentary but it cannot be overstated how important this film is. I highly doubt that whoever created this knew at the time that they captured a time not only in motocross but also a time in New England that barely exists today. The honesty in this film is absolutely priceless. There is nothing pretentious about this time in the world. The people who created this track and its “scene” did it for the love of the sport, the kids and the community. Very rare in today’s world. As it was stated in the film profit was never the focus of this track’s creation. The focus of profit nearly closed this track. I’m so thankful that it has survived and for the person who created this film. It’s more important than you think.
It was an honor to be picked for a flag position
Did the guy in the cowboy hat say medically it’s the best? I’ve never heard that term. Is that old New England talk? Cool video
Dante Molta!
I raced there numerous times starting with the inaugural event in July 1973.
Track will be open and raced again in 2015.
Although it seems like a long time ago it wasn't long ago when the AMA tried to blow the candle out on the WICK. Thanks to a handful of iconic supporters we were able to keep one of the pioneer national tracks that helped make this sport what it is today. All hail the 338 🇺🇲✊
PS: they lost the national event in 2014
I really enjoyed this, thanks for the great memories.
Awesome! The wick 338!
Great upload. Thank you
Nice
