Toth Wins Rattlesnake National Enduro
T
he sixth round of the 2024
Red Line Oil AMA National
Enduro Series, presented by MSR
and Beta Motorcycles, gifted rid-
ers ideal trail conditions for the
Yamaha Rattlesnake National
Enduro in Cross Fork, Pennsylva-

was a short first test. I kind of

ride it smooth. The track was

to stay upright and get out of the
woods as quick as I could."
When the day was complete,
Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Red
Bear Racing Kawasaki's Steward
Baylor Jr. had earned second
overall. The 2023 event winner
also had to fight his way through
test one, only taking seventh in
class, before taking fourth in the
next test. A pair of second- and
first-place results for NE Pro1 in
the final four tests really helped
turn his day around.
"I pushed the front a few times
early on," Baylor Jr. said, "Test
