Blackhawks Enduro
By Sharon Bean
PLYMOUTH, IN, APR. 24
Steve Narel mad e the long trip from Wisconsin
Rap ids, Wisconsin, to the Northern Indian a PIy- .
m outh Bla ckhaw ks End u ro p ay pff with the
overa ll win aboard his Kawasaki 250, edging out
fellow Wiscon sin rid er Duane Eller by just 14
seco nds a fter 11 checks.
Narel and Eller were the on ly riders to drop
nine points in the 79-mile end uro . Matt Wingo,
Brent Floyd, Jared Gr een and Larry Bergquist
followed with 10 p oints dropped .
Thi s w as th e first time tha t the Blackhawks
have run their annual en duro in the sp ring time,
d ue to th e conflic t its regular schedule wo uld
creat e wi th rid ers wanting to go to the ISDE in
Sep tem ber. The dec ision to move it up to Ap ril
must ha ve bee n a wise ch oice, as over 170 riders sho wed up to get an ea rly sta rt on their seaso n .
The rid ers sta rted th e da y w ith a sho rt trip
down the blacktop that turned right ba ck int o
the start area's riverb ottom woods tha t would be
the first test of the day.
Most o f the top ' rid ers mad e it to the firs t
check with a zero point loss due to the fact tha t
the blacktop gave th em a little edge go ing in,
a nd a couple of long lie Id s go t them back on
time.
A A r id er Ja red G re en s a w h is ov erall
chan ces become tougher, when he was the only
rid er to bum the first check by a minut e: This
w o u ld p rove to be h is undo ing. fo r wi tho u t
th os e "hot" p oints, G ree n wou ld h av e on ly
drop ped eight poin ts and won the ov erall.
Tho n e xt tes t se c t io n was s ev e n mil es
through the hare scrambles course a t the Blackhawks clubgrounds. Everyone was checked in a t
the beginning, then ther e was a chec k halfw ay
through an d a check coming out of the section.
01 th e to p ride rs, Green was th e on ly rider to
zero the middle check whi le the othe rs d rop ped
one point. At the exit check, all the top riders
dropped lour poin ts.
Several othe r short stints in the woods saw
everyone stay ing th e sa me as they ze roed th e
next chec k, and then dropped one point a t the
sixth chec k. All of the top-10 riders then lost the
same poin ts a t checks seven and eigh t. Most of
the riders were glad to see the tw o river crossings miss ing from the annual ev ent.
The last cha nce to ma ke up poin ts wa s in the
fina l lour mi les of woods at the 11th check. The
final section also proved to be the most cha llengin g pa rt 01 th e day, as it lea tured se veral big
mud hol es and wa ter-cov ere d bottomla nd. It
wo uld also pro ve to be the undoing of some riders who cou ldn ' t make the SO gro un d mi les on
one tank of gas . Several rid ers ran out 01 gas in
th e las t sectio n, jus t shy of the fmal checkpoint.
Senior A class winner Bob Bean ran out of gas in
th e m id dle of the woods, went on rese rve and
ran out gas again just as he approached the fina l
checkpoint.
