Does Chad even crack the top 10? I see him mid pack to the back. He will not be a factor for any race wins or the championship. Pure money grab.
Lame. I don't think Chad needs the few grand he might make from these 3 rounds lol. Maybe he just loves racing and misses it??? He did race LL qualifier and raced at Redbud this year.

If you get 20 A class riders racing in a field in middle of nowhere Kansas - I’m going. It will be a show.

If you get 20 pro SX racers together inside a stadium, people will go. It will be a show.

Tickets will be sold. Hot dogs ate. Beer drank. Hot girls in leather pants. The smell of race gas. Riders will race. Who cares where it is and what it is god damnit it’s two wheels and I want to watch.

Exactly how watching pro riders race in a stadium anywhere other than USA is a controversial idea….. head scratcher.

I think if reed actually trained hard for one off season he could probably podium in regular sx. seems like his last few seasons he got on the bike like a week before a1 lol.

Also 2 nights of racing in Australia for round 2.
Hi Mate, I could be wrong but I believe the Aus SX title is on Friday night and the WSX is Sat night.

This is to AMA Supercross as World Superbike is to MotoGP. So what? Both series have great racing and I'd watch either one.

He was barley qualifying his last season. Racers don’t really gradually decline. They fall off a cliff. And that’s exactly what happened to him.

He’s done.

Great marketing I guess….

There is no qualifying for events, so he’s safe there. There are only 22 riders allowed to enter the event.

Would be shocked to see him sign up for the full year next year but getting big names to attract a crowd for the 3 off season races this year is clearly the main goal. Reed will bring in a crowd on his name alone and it will give an entirely new audience to get to see some legends in person.

Chad was one of the best in his day! But he has a hard time qualifying for a 450 main today. He’s no longer relevant.

To the guys saying "he's got plenty of money". Do you honestly know anyone who in their own opinion has plenty of money right now?

It doesnt work like that. Everybody has a price.

I hope so and if it will then great. I am a bit afraid it's going to become CART vs IRL for outdoors.

Do you honestly think he’s doing this solely for the money?
