So your into the extreme stuff? Well, you've come to the right place!!!

We hail from a small town called Southwick, MA. For you Motocross fanatics, I'm sure you recognize that as the home of 338, or even better, the "Sand Track". Southwick has been a motocross town for many years (track opened in 1972) and is listed by many of the riders as one of their favorite tracks to run! in fact, it's been the home of the Nationals for many years bringing in some of the top riders in the country. If you're interested in learning more about 338, click visit their website at www.moto338.com. They have just completed a new site at www.motox338.com which is really slick! If you're looking for the schedule for 338, you can go to http://www.motocross338.org/schedule.htm to find it.  
 
This space has been set aside for for nothing but motocross and will be expanded when the new season gets going! My son, Evan (pictured to the left), has been a flagger at 338 since he was around 11 years old. Good old Barry Yellin would hire the kids well before they should've been hired but it was sure appreicated by those few he brought in! What better way to earn a crisp fifty dollar bill at 11 or 12 years old. Hang out at the track, set in the best seat in the house (right on the track) and watch the races all day! Sure, you had to get up and flag for a down rider from time to time and maybe you had to help some of the younger ones off the track, or help them kick over their bikes. This is a small price to pay for the pleasure of being a part of the race.

Evan has had the opportnuity to work in the "pits" for the last few Nationals events. During his time there, he's met some of the big named riders. None were cooler than Travis Pastrana. He actually invited Evan to sit down with him to have a Red Bull. No kidding! I've talked to one of the fellows who runs the track and they told me a story about the days the racers were allowed to camp in the pits. Travis set up a large screen TV outside and invited everyone over to his camper to watch TV at night!  
 
Anyhow, here are a few pictures from the 2005 Nationals in Southwick. Enjoy and keep checking back for more info as the season gets going! If you have some photos of yourself or one from a motorcross event somewhere around the country, please send them on over and we'll be happy to share them with others.
