So, I was rather disappointed hearing Utah would get a national, and that I would be moving to NY in July and not even see it. However, it's been great so far! Here's some of the highlights:
- Shortly after we decided to move, an announcement was made about SX returning to the New York area (New Jersey to be exact) and leaving SLC. Sad for you Utah guys. My dad took me I believe to the Meadowlands when I was 2 years old. Excited to go and take my 2yr old boy.
- Drove a few hours to Southwick and it was awesome. Sad to see it leave the schedule, but at least I got there once. All I have to say is - Andrew Short in moto 1.
- Just won 6 free tickets to Unadilla from FreestoneMX Facebook Freebie giveaway thinger. With money getting a little tight, I almost wasn't going to go, but now the whole family is going! Interested to see this track change with gravity cavity. My guess is, they won't be going around that tree anymore. Maybe it's gone even!
There it is. Hoping for some good racing this weekend!!!

Have fun at 'Dilla
The Shop
that's been the finish line for the last few years? where did that go?
i'm in new york and have to work saturday- pretty fucking bummed. it's always a nice 2 wheel ride up there then basically a bike show looking at all the road bikes parked there- great racing then a nice ride home.
safe travels and watch for the speed trap if you leave there heading south- they love to dish out tickets and nail dwis from people leaving the races- probably the best moneymaker for the local state police up there all year.
I do like the new one part that looks to have replaced he s turns where with the trees were, but I dont see why they couldnt go right in and out of gravity cavity.
Hopefully Im wrong, but thats what it looks like to me.
the valley. Do the bank turn that is in the picture then up to the tree turn. If you search You Tube there are good views of it from the ATV national including a nasty crash from the A class. Not sure if the layout will be exactly the same but it was a few weeks ago.
Dilla is one of if not most scenic Nationals I've been too, not to mention a number of great tracks across the state. The track itself has undertaken huge improvements over the past few years no matter what some may think. Definetely check out the big table in the back and screw-U in practice. Then spectating on the nearside hill of Gravity Cavity is 90% viewing. Of course I'm bias, but best track on circuit.
Unafuckndilla!!!!!!!
I wish I could go,...but a 22 hour drive ,...I am not up to and have not the funds at this time,.....but thanks to the power of the DISH I will be there in spirit Sat. afternoon!
Should be a great race.
Pit Row
Jr. with his Kawi hat. I took him over to screw U on the first lap of the last 250 moto. It was loud. He was loving it.
Shout out to Freestone MX for the 6 free tickets. It was awesome. Go like their Facebook page. On the way home we were stuck in traffic on Route 8 going North. We were behind this guy with some 70's MXers in the back and a ton of stickers on his van. I had the misses go up and give him a Freestone sticker.
Jr and the Misses.
Our view of the track. Nice shade tree with a decent view of most of the track.
WNYMA am rider (my cousin) Colton out with a torn ACL. He had some trouble getting around the track.
The whole clan.
It was a great day at the races! The American flag guy and the burnout exhibition going south. Good times.
Motoxdoc - here is one for you...
