Foxborough Supercross
1983
Back in 1983 New England hosted its first-ever AMA Supercross at Foxboro Stadium, home of the New England Patriots football team. This was well-before the Patriots became the NFL dynasty of this millennium—future GOAT Tom Brady was still quarterbacking his elementary-school’s Pop Warner team out in San Mateo, California. This was also before the SX and AMA Pro Motocross schedules were split, so the race took place on July 24, two weeks after the RedBud National and one week before the U.S. 250cc Grand Prix at Unadilla. It was also the second-to-last round of what was called Wrangler Supercross for 1983.
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
