2002 Minneapolis EA Sports 125cc East AMA Supercross Championship (Round 2 of 7)
17This is round 2 of the 2002 EA Sports 125cc East AMA Supercross Championship from the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, MN. This is the 4th of only 9 125cc Supercross races from 2002 that I have.
Returning 125cc contenders like 2001 125cc MX champ Mike Brown, Yamaha of Troy rookie Chad Reed, 5-time Arenacross champ Buddy Antunez, 125cc Sophomores Grant Langston and Steve Boniface, Branden Jesseman, Greg Schnell, 1998 West champ John Dowd, Larry Ward, Kelly Smith, Michael Byrne, Ryan Clark, and others battle it out for the 2002 EA Sports 125cc East AMA Supercross Championship. This is Chad Reed's rookie (and lone) 125cc Supercross season, which he dominates almost the entire one. AMSOIL Honda's Michael Byrne is already knocked out of the 125cc East Supercross season after bailing off of his CR125R in mid-flight over a triple jump at the opener in Indianapolis, where he sustained a broken collar bone, broken ankle, and bruised lung. This race has the sport's 2nd ever all-foreign podium (Australia, South Africa, and France in that order).
Enjoy.
