2002 Washougal Chevy Trucks 125cc AMA Motocross Championship (Round 9 of 12)

This is round 9 of the 2002 Chevy Trucks 125cc AMA Motocross Championship from Washougal Motocross Park in Washougal, WA.
Returning 125cc contenders like rookies Billy Laninovich, James "Bubba" Stewart, Eric Sorby, and (125cc East SX champ) Chad Reed, former 250cc riders Larry Ward, Damon Huffman, and 5-time Arenacross champ Buddy Antunez, 125cc sophomores Grant Langston and Steve Boniface, Branden Jesseman, Greg Schnell, Brock Sellards, 250cc Supercross rider Ernesto Fonseca, Michael Byrne, 125cc West SX champ Travis Preston, Chris Gosselaar, Matt Walker, and defending champ Mike Brown battle it out for the 2002 Chevy Trucks 125cc AMA Motocross Championship. This is Chad Reed's lone full season, and Ernesto Fonseca's last season in the 125cc class. This is the first pro 125cc Motocross for rookie Billy Laninovich, and he finishes a very respectable 4th place in 125cc moto #1. After being sidelined for all of the 2002 year so far, Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Shae Bentley #104 makes his season debut and finishes an impressive 5th in moto #1.
Enjoy.

I was there

Wow, lucky you. My dad's friend and his kids went to this race in 2005.

Any 4-strokes out there Matt?

[@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames]

Absolutely -- Larry Ward and Chad Reed are the two notables here.

It's LaNINovich

I know -- Larry Brooks even went so far as to leave out the extra syllable at the time just to say Billy's last name. I'm glad that Todd Harris brought in that extra syllable around San Diego, but David Bailey still stuck with "Lanovich," much to my dismay (even though he said it beautifully on the Dallas 2003 125cc broadcast).
