Securing the title early last year may
have hu:t Davis this year. By electing
not to rIde Delaware last Year, Davis
had to defend his championship while
riding this event for the first time.
Despite the controversy, the enduro
was perceived as an excellent event. It
didn't offer anything that was too technical, but did offer challenging terrain
that couldn't be ridden quite as fast as
the given speed average.
"This is a good enduro, a real
enduro," Hines said. "I never do too
wen here, but it is a good enduro."
Hines' bike suffered a seized lower rod
bearing at about the same place as
Haw~' bike broke. Hines had enough
solid finishes to secure fourth overall in
the yearend standings.
KTM's MichaeJ Lafferty, who has
locked up third overall in the standings,
aJso had mechanical probl.ems and was
unable to finish. The rising star had
hoped for a top finjsh to end his best
year and to help celebrate his 21st birthday.
