    What Really Happened: Southwick National

    Contributed by Chris Worden

    Southwick: Where to begin with this one? It was a weekend of firsts, that much is for sure, and when combined with what's always a wacky round of the series plus some truly crummy weather we end up with an epic event. Let's look back at what really happened.

    First things first, and that's all of the first timers that went into the history books at Southwick. Let's start with: Matt Goerke. Not only was his 2nd moto win his first ever, but so was his overall - in either class...

    That's right, John Dowd is 44 years old and yes, you're hearing this right: He finished 3rd overall at the 2009 Southwick National. Dowdy used his decades of experience at the sandy track to come from way back in moto one to finish up 10th, then spent the entire 2nd moto picking off young factory rider after young factory rider until there was only one left - Goerke. While the Junkyard Dog couldn't quite reel in the new Yamaha factory rider (who's about 20 years younger), he kept him honest to come across the line in 2nd. The 10-2 was good enough for 3rd overall.
