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.
As co-producer of this doc thanks for the kind words. I had occasion to return to the track several years ago to shoot for Speed Channel. Was very disheartened to see the changes. They had clearcut the woods seen in this program to allow 40’ tractor trailers access. The family atmosphere was long gone. It had become just another commercial operation.
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 🇺🇲✊

Grew up across the street, we loved to hear the BRAP BRAP on Saturday mornings!!

PS: they lost the national event in 2014
It was an honor to be picked for a flag position
Great upload. Thank you
I really enjoyed this, thanks for the great memories.
I raced there numerous times starting with the inaugural event in July 1973.
Awesome! The wick 338!
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
Track will be open and raced again in 2015.
Nice
Dante Molta!
