Guys, Reed has been winning for 11 years in the premier class who else has done that? McGrath has not done it.

I have been thinking about him winning San Diego...only problem RV needs to win SD to get momentum back early in the season. Cant give Reed the momentum.

2005 San Diego was one of the best races between RC and Reed.

Well, Crush, clearly you are the cinema guy. Sure, I could go to Youtube, but who wants to hang out with those goofballs, when there is such a warm, family-like atmosphere here at Vital, and you can have your racing delivered to you. Thanks.

haha... All good.

Dallas and Minny that year were good too.

Likewise Houston, Pontiac and Daytona 05. Orlando was cool for intensity. Wish Reed hadn't had the brake DNF at the opener. Woulda been closer at the end at least.

In those eleven years he has become a husband, father and team owner. One of the oldest out there. Still winning. Sticking it to the best equipped factory teams in the world!!!

There is no reason to not like the guy. I've rooted for other riders in the past but I think I'm becoming a huge Reed fan myself.

He is still kicking some serious ass!

Hyped for SD?I just gave my tickets to SD away the other day because Stevo was stuck in Florida due to the weather supposedly for another week. One day after giving the tickets away, they put his ass on a plane to San Diego! Still doesn't appear as if he'll get to go to the race, but I'm not cancelling our flight till Thursday....Laughing

Has there ever been a rider that has won over such a long period of time against such strong fields?

Honestly it's crazy to think that his career started out as the only rider in the world being able to match it with the GOAT. He and Ricky were so far ahead of the pack they even lapped the entire field aside from each other on one occasion.

Now there's James Stewart who is even faster then Ricky Carmichael ever was, and many believed couldn't be beaten by CR or RC unless he crashed. A 2 time supercross champion. Then there's Ryan Villopoto, the young guy who has been the man to beat for the last 3 years and is in his prime right now. Ryan Dungey who has been just that little bit behind him. And now Ken Roczen who looks set to be battling with the likes of RV, RD and Bubba for years to come. Yet somehow Chad Reed has managed to keep up as the field progresses for 11 years. I thought for sure his ACL injury in 2012 was the end of his career given the recovery time from that injury and his age. Then last year his career was at an all time low... yet he has bounced back from that and is arguably at his best right now. Defying age, injury and a ridiculously stacked field.

KW14 did it over a 14yr period ( as far as wins go ). First win was 1996.....last win was in 2010 in Salt lake city. That is just the wins recorded in the Vault , his career was longer.

First pro race......Gatorback 1994.

Last race...Can't remember the exact race........but mid 2013.

That's 19 friggin' years as a pro in this sport!

He has the longest race list I have ever seen in the vault >>>> http://vault.racerxonline.com/rider/kevin-windham/races

BUT....you guys are right! Chad Reed is a bonafide bad ass on a dirt bike! Still winning now and he's raced the best this sport has ever seen. MC , RC , Stewart , RD , RV.....the list goes on and on.

OK so for sure Windham was at it for longer than anyone. Not taking ANYTHING away from him, he is a bad dude,

First 250 win was In Charlotte April 19, 1997. His last win (SX) was May 1, 2010. That is 13 years. INSANE!

Now Reeds first 250SX win was January 4,2003. His latest win was February 1, 2014 II years. Two SX titles and 43 SX wins and counting.

Go Reed!

2005 San Diego was one of the best races between RC and Reed.
I was there. It was insane! CR and RC lapped up to 3rd place. LaRocco looked over like WTH? Totally insane how fast they were going compared to everyone else. Has anyone ever lapped the entire field in a SX race?
