2002 New Orleans EA Sports 125cc East AMA Supercross Championship (Round 5 of 7)
3This is round 5 of the 2002 EA Sports 125cc East AMA Supercross Championship from the Superdome in New Orleans, LA. This is the 6th 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 125cc 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. This race features the only Chad Reed/Grant Langston duel all season long, only to see Chad Reed tie Nathan Ramsey's 1999 125cc West and Denny Stephenson's 1990 125cc East records for consecutive wins in a single 125cc season with 5. Yamaha privateer and veteran Larry Ward earns his first podium of 2002 with a 3rd place after having to qualify out of the Last Chance.
Enjoy.
NOTE: The 2002 Daytona Supercross will be shown in its entirety on my channel when I get around to the 250cc races.
