[QUOTE="DWreck, post: 1188575, member: 30114"] Saturday night Gorp came up and met us at Jeff's and we headed out a 3am Sunday morning to head to the Lead Belt National Enduro. Gorp and I have been battling it out for top honors in Vet C all year. The last two races he has given me hope for a victory and then managed to do just enough to leave me sitting in second. This time things were not looking too promising to me considering I had just ridden two days in a row and still hadn't found wheel bearing for the bike. As we got into the first test section I watched him steadily pull away as I missed a couple of turns and battled arm pump. I finally relaxed and tried to set a pace that I thought would get me through in second. This was my first time to race with the big boys of the sport. Russel Bobbitt was on row 21 on his factory Red Bull KTM and passed me in every test section. You know how when a rider who is faster passes you that sometimes you can fall in behind them watch their lines and pick up the pace. It didn't happen. He was gone so fast I couldn't believe it. We were on row 18 and the last test section was 15 miles long. I quit paying attention to numbers when pros from row 24 passed. Michael Lafferty was one of them coming from row 25. I have never been passed by so many people in my life. It wasn't my best ride by any means but I'm not sure that it would have made a difference. Toby Adkins, the guy we rode with at Chadwick on Friday finished 21st overall in the AA/Pro class. The trails were awesome. Sand, ruts, roots, rocks, mud and a creek section where the small rocks were the size of your head. Just about the time you would start to get tired of something it would change. Unfortunately the Blackjack Enduro Circuit lost a rider at this race. After the last check Bob Harris stopped to relieve himself and died of a heart attack. He was in his 60's and from looking at his times was still getting around pretty good on a bike. One of the last people to speak to him asked him how it was going at one of the checks and said he grinned and said I am having a great time. All in all I had a great weekend, didn't get hurt and got another second in the Blackjack points. [/QUOTE]
