If you go to mapquest and enter the address to the track ( 46 Powder Mill Rd. Southwick, MA 01077), all but the very closest satellite pic looks to have been taken on the day of a national or other high profile race.

That is cool Mike,What are the odds they would take a photo of the area on the day of a national?
Are you coming here for the national this weekend? The weather looks like it will hold out for Saturday but Sunday
and Monday look soggy.

Might use that overview to try to make a replica of it on MX Unleashed. Thanks, and that's cool.

This will be fun. You need a pit pass to get into the pits? I though people just walked in there?

You do need a pit pass.
They sell them the morning of the race around the front gate area for like $10

Cool. I think they are $20 now. That's $60 in total? Price gone up recently? Whatever...

I made the same track for MX Simulator.

Here's a video of it, not my video, but I'm pretty proud of the track. Needs a little graphical update though. Spent forever on it, like nearly a year on and off.

Thats sweet! Here's my version. Spent way too many hours on it in such little time! Took me 2 days to complete it..

365 to 1, you're welcome.

I've never been to Southwick but all these years watching it on TV I had this image of it being in the middle of BFE. Turn right at the yard with all the rusty tractors, left at the 4th gravel road, go through the second gate, past 2 barns.........................

It's in a neighborhood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
