Chad had an interview while at his car race and said he's planning on being there. I edited the thread title to reflect that maybe he meant just attending, not racing.

Sure sounded like what he said. Unless he meant he was just going to attend. Weege sounded surprised by it.

He does. With the end so near he probably just wants to get a few outdoors in. Would be cool if when he retires he races some of the 125 races along with RV.

From what I remember Reed has never raced a 125 in the past, that would be a steep curve for him, regardless of being 50 lbs heavier than RV.

50 lbs heavier than RV? 😂 He probably weighs less at the moment.

He raced a 125 against Stewart on that memorable day.

He never cared for 125's, wanted to get on a 250 as soon as possible. He was bumped up the next year--did well too.

No he didn’t. Apparently that memorable day isn’t so memorable to you. He was on a 250f...

The SX racing season is but a distant memory that he didn't even finish.
I will meet you half way, he is 25lbs heavier than RV.
Or 100lbs heavier than some of the youngsters in that class.

If you're talking about Unadilla when 259 toyed with reed they were on 125s.
Reed had almost won the 250 GP crown the year before.
I think he got 2nd.
That was the ride that got him out of Australia.
But he wanted the USA. And the only ride he could get here was on a Yamaha, in the 125 class.

He had dropped down to the peashooter, after running with the best on a 250 for a year.

Somebody show me I'm wrong.

I stand corrected. Could have swore they both were on 125s. Eh.

Yeah he would complain to anyone that would listen that he should be in the big boy class, he hated racing that 250f against James. Doubt he has any interest in riding a 125.

He wanted to ride the 125 outdoors but was contracted to race the 250F in both SX and MX.

He also didn’t want to race the 125/250 class that year. He was ready and proved it at the West Coast SX rounds he was ready for the 250/450 class. In the end, I guess a contract for the Lites class is better than no contract at all.

There is NO WAY someone that 5'10" is 50lbs heavier than RV.

Maybe 20 lbs heavier?

I say there is no way Reed is over say 185lbs. RV is probably about the same I'd imagine.

In Australia, prior to his move overseas, I think he went straight to 250’s when he turned pro, so never raced a 125 professionally.

Despite his success in the GP’s in 2001 on the 250’s, and his past SX results in Australia, it was still a bridge too far for the factories to offer a 250 SX ride to an “unproven” rider so he had to settle for the YoT 250f.

I suspect these days it would be a bit different.

Reed is a small guy. I just stood next to him at ironman. Very thin. Maybe 160?

Just a wild guess but I think Reed is going to ride a few Nationals this year to sway the Australian decision makers to choose him for a "good by and thanks" ride at the MXDN. Then ride one more SX season on Suzuki and then retire to either race cars for JGR or take over the team manager role at JGR.

RacerX Vault. 2002

"Before long, Stewart had figured out the deal and began clipping off moto wins and overalls. At one point, Reed apparently said he could run with Stewart if he could get a better start, so Stewart took matters into his own hands at Unadilla. While leading the first moto (after a good start), Stewart suddenly started to slow down. He was actually going to let Reed catch up! A startled Reed then took the lead, and Stewart got back on the gas, passed him back and took off. You think a rivalry was beginning to brew between these two?

As it turned out, Stewart was even faster than expected outdoors, and he dominated the series by winning the last eight nationals in a row. The Reed/YZ250F combo never caught fire. Reed said he didn’t think the 250F was an advantage, but then he never asked to try a YZ125, either."
