Toth Wins Gobbler Getter National Enduro
E
nduro Engineering put up an
$8000 bounty for anyone
who could win all six tests at
the November 6 Gobbler Getter
National Enduro in Stanton, Ala-
bama, a culmination of a year's
long "Bounty" program that was

Toth got off to a quick start in
test one, winning by nearly 26
seconds ahead of Rockstar En-

In the remaining five tests, Toth
