The legendary Southwick MX338 was the season opener this past weekend for the NEATV-MX circuit. A very pissed off Wes Nelson could not race in the 250 B class this weekend due to legal issues with the AMA sign up process.
Eldon Townes went out to pratice and felt really tired as it was his first time on MX338 and his second ride of the season. Nate Walsh looked unsuprisingly strong in his practice heat.
Walsh's first moto came around in the 250 Pro-AM class and shockingly he got a bad start and it was done from there, he was triing to hard to get back to the top and stalled his Walsh RaceCraft CRF450 in one of the corners. after about 5 kicks he got it goin and with about one lap left he got caught up in a tangle with three other riders and he finished last.
Eldon's first moto rolled around for the start of the 4 Stroke B class, out of the hole he got slammed and came out 2nd to last from the hole. After a few laps he picked and dodged a tanlge up, when the checkered flag waved Eldon finished 8th. In his second moto of the day #19 got a better start and came out about 11th and finished 6th very fatigued.
Nate Walsh's Open Pro moto was a good one from the start! Nate got 2nd out of the holeshot and finished first in both his motos in that class.
