I don’t think I have ever seen such allegiance to any rider like I’ve seen with Eli Tomac in the 53 years I have been following this sport. I agree that he is unbelievable on a dirt bike, but this sport was created to be an “outside” race series worldwide, with SX/stadiums helping later on to build both fans and sponsorships. If anyone feels like me, the true test of endurance is the long motos that take place on Mother Earth’s courses, and there still is no one who comes close to the GOAT. Two undefeated outdoor titles, 2002 and 2004, and lapping the entire Spring Creek 2006 field says all there is about the true beast, and I’m sticking to it!

Shawn, just a couple of days after we received your letter, Tomac announced that he was not going supercross-only and will defend his 450 Pro Motocross Championship after all. And we agree with you on Ricky Carmichael! DC
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
