NOAH SMERDON
Transplanting to Cairo, Georgia, via Australia, Noah Smerdon has left the comfort of his own home and native land, to reach the goals he’s set for himself. Setting MTF as the new residence, Smerdon’s been working day in and day out, proving to those around him that the move was well worth the effort. He’s been traveling all across the United States over the past few years, rattling off top five finishes at numerous events. Three top ten’s at last years Mini O’s, had him
in the right mentality for the new year just around the corner. He’s been migrating closer and closer to the lead ever since, dominating each and every area qualifier he attends. His crew puts in the time, and he’s rewarding all of those around him with ultra-respective finishes. If he’s willing to travel this far to attain what he wants, there’s absolutely nothing that will stand in his way from here on out.
TANNER SCOTT
Ponca City, Oklahoma has been a landmark in the amateur motocross community for countless years, dating back decades and decades. Hailing from the town with the racing history is none other than Tanner Scott, utilizing the historical nature of his residence to further support his racing endeavors. Scott showed up at the inaugural Spring A Ding Ding race at Underground MX in Kemp, Texas with a point to prove
-- and he did exactly that in the C class. He was no stranger to the
top ten throughout the weekend of racing as he often heard his name rattle through the trackside loud- speaker, but he would really rise to the occasion in the 450 C division. The Oklahoma native finished in first and second positive in both respective motos and staked his claim to the top step of the podium, backing it up with an additional third place in the 250 C class. Scott’s consistency kept him towards the front of the field at every occasions and he will be one to keep an eye in the C class as qualifiers commence throughout the summer.
