test with some lappers and dust."
Sixth was Beta USA's Evan
Smith, who was racing a two-
stroke for the first time. "I had a
good day kind of learning some
of the groove of the two-stroke,"
said Smith. "I kept it off the
ground and away from the trees
for most of it until the last test and
I had a fall there, but all in all, it
was a good day."
Five-time National Enduro
Champion Russell Bobbitt, who
lives just an hour away from the

ninth overall and second NE Pro
2 rider.
Beta USA's Jonathan Johnson
rounded out the top 10 overall
and was third in the NE Pro 2
class.
