SETRA Enduro Series, Round 6
Ramey has fun
at Cochran

anklin Ramey wanted to prove that
he was a force to be reckoned with
at the 21st Cochran Fun Run after a
disappointing finish at round five of the
SETRA Enduro Series, and he succeeded
by taking the overall win with only a
four-point loss over roughly 240 riders
and a strong AA class,
The AA class had eight of the SETRA
regulars. Champion Allen Gravitt was
still recovering &om ankle surgery and..
unable to race, although he did work a
checkpoint. Gravitt vows to be back in
time for the Maplesville Enduro on
November 3,
Frank Amos, Bud Hardeman and
Charles Smith put on an enduro with
sections easy enough for beginners but
with trails still challenging to the fast
guys - hence the name "Fun Run." Rain
fell in central Georgia in the early. part of
the week before the race, making the
ground nice and tacky with just a little
dust showing up on the dirt roads for
the later-row riders, Temperatures were
in the mid-70s on race day along with
blue skies and not a cloud in sight.
The first half of the race consisted of

six in Cochran, Georgia.
sections of two-track connected by
short, tighter trails and areas of clearcut. The course was relatively easy up to
the gas stop, giving the riders a chance
to warm up on some great trails.
Most everyone was able to maintain
a 24-mph average on the first three sec·
tions, and riders had to watch the clock
to avoid being early. Team Green's
Steven Smith got caught a little off
guard and burned check three by one
minute, but he didn't let that shake him.
Smith was the only AA rider to zero the
next section, all the others dropping one
point each. Checks five and six were all
made on time by the AA riders. At the
gas, everyone was tied with one point
apiece, except for Smith who had the
two-point loss for being early.
Then the riders rode a few miles of
fire road into an eight-mile section of
rooty, tight woods with several creek
crossings. After a reset came the last
woods section, about 10 miles long and
fairly tight, proving to be the major
points-taking section of the day.
Check number seven, a going-in
check located on a fire road, caugh..t
Jason Chancey by surprise and he
burned it by a minute. The section fol·
lowing the check was nice and tight
with several technical areas, and the
AAs dropped three points each. The
scores were all very close at this point,
and it seemed the top positions would
be determined by seconds,
Ramey really got on the gas in the
last, tight and twisty section of trail and
lost only two points. Smith dropped
three as did Scott Miller, AshIey Brewer,
Michael Grizzle and Jeff Harris. Mike
Martin dropped four and Chancey came
through with five.
This was the closest race to date, with
Ramey taking the overall by just one point
fewer than the next three riders. Scott
Miller on a new KTM had his best ride to
date, finishing in the runner-up position
for second overall with seven points.
Doug Masencoup put in an excellent
ride to finish first in a close 250cc A battle with Johnny McCoy, who finished
second.
