DEVIN SIMONSON
Looking at the line-up of any particular professional motocross, or Supercross event, you’re quick
to notice just how many competi- tors, call the state of North Carolina home. The place is crawling with talent, and turning out riders like
no other, including that of Devin Simonson. Simonson, a B class rider who’s truly beginning to hit
his stride in recent months, has set the events of early 2018 ablaze, with momentum stemming from last year’s Mini O’s. Numerous top fives, all throughout the week, rolled into the New Year, and into races such as the RPM Sports Spring Classic, and JS7 Spring Championship. He truly was at the front of every class he entered, and he doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Simonson is hunting for gold, and we all are waiting to see what the rest of 2018 has in store for him.
DIESEL THOMAS
Diesel Thomas simply doesn’t stop chugging, on his journey to chase his dream. The Nebraska native constantly seeks the toughest talent he can find, and contests the highest percentile of riders in his class on weekly basis. He’s no stranger to the to the top of the re- sults board, and is a sure bet for a top finish, whenever he selects an event to attend. Look at the Free- stone Spring Championship for example, where he brought home an astounding four, top ten overall finishes. And his best was aboard an 85cc machine! The more power the bike seems to offer, the more he can truly let loose, and let
his raw talent emerge. With that mentality, we’re all very curious to see what the near future is going to bring, as Diesel is a shoe-in for championships and action-packed battles on the track.
