Well I was watching YouTube archive races (as usual) and I stumbled across milleville '02 125cc. The race which was the following race from Dilla when bubbs pulled the Shenanigans on Reed by slowing down and allowing Chad to pass him just to immediately repass him to make him look silly. Sure, Bubba made him look dumb by doing that to him, but I think this was awesome how reed came out the following week and beat Stewart straight up(which I never thought happened before it was a surprise to me) check this straight up whopping Reed put on #259. Catching , passing , and pulling away from 259. Revenge is a B!:&$.

Meh.

And they weren't as good as they were now either.. That thing was pretty heavy
Whatever the weight limit is(was?), that thing was right on it. Don't kid yourself.
250Fs back then wouldn't have matched the peak horsepower of the 125s.
Then Reedy came back like a champ and killed it the next round. Epic season!
James was a machine on a 125....I'm pretty sure he wrote the book on momentum.
Pit Row
Im sure plenty will disagree but James talent really shined on the 2 stroke more so bec of how much better of a "rider" he was whereas the 450 definitely allowed some people riders with less natural talent to shine (nobody in particular just a blanket statement)
For the love of God will someone please upload 02' Red Bud! I am dying to see that last to first again!
03' Budds Creek is the other must see last to first by bubba
03' red Bud was the stupid scrub past Langston then launches that hip whipped out like a boss!
Tons of epic bubba 125 moments that I will never forget!
How good of a drinking game would that make though, every time they mention the Martins owning and growing up at Millville you have a shot. You would be shit faced after that.
For the record, before some Martin super fan takes a swing for me, I have nothing against any of them, just the broadcast with their constant reminders of who owns that place wear thin after the first 30 minutes of watching it..
Anyway, we're still waiting.
MX/SX misses these kinds of rivalries. Dear Cooper Webb, please take notes and form a great rivalry this season.
When he moved up to the 250 class, I feel he lost the 'fun' factor. He was completely poker faced during interviews and I don't ever remember seeing him smile during interviews since moving up.
Post a reply to: Remember when Bubba toyed with Reed at Dilla '02?...
