Roeseler the toughest com peti tio n. " T here were wet spo ts at the beginning, and then the co urse dried o ut," said Burl eson. " Maybe I' ll be a racer wh en 1 grow up.

"T hat was it for me, so from there on 1 was just cu ttin ' dirt, having a blast like you 're supposed to at the Alligator." From gas to th e finish, it was a pace keeper's race for mos t of the top entries. Roeseler held on to his eig htpo int to tal, but Burleso n arrived at o ne check a m inute lat e and ended up losing the overa ll at . the tiebreaker check.

My co mp u ter and clock stopped wor king a few mi les ou t, so there wasn' t much time-keeping in it for m e," said th e first-time Alli. . gator rider. For Roeseler, th e All igator Enduro was one part in a week of motorcycle fun. " I had no idea of what Daytona Cycle Week was all about," said the overa ll winner. "T here's so many bikes, and so much tradition.
