Toth Wins Grassman Enduro
T
he Enduro Engineering
Grassman National Enduro
in Chandlersville treated more
than 450 riders to Ohio single-
track for round seven of the
2024 Redline Oil AMA National
Enduro Series, presented by
MSR and Beta Motorcycles. The
Ohio Woods Riders laid out the
longest national enduro in recent
years, at 81 miles, but that didn't
faze championship leader Josh
Toth, as he chalked up his sixth
consecutive win.
Race-day temperatures
couldn't have been any better,
starting off in the low 50s and
working into the mid-70s. Unfor
-
tunately, it's been a dry summer
in the state, so the racecourse
was extremely dry. Dusty condi-
tions on the trail made visibility a
challenge at times.
Following that, riders jumped
into a 4.5-mile test at the begin-
ning and then tackled a seven-
mile-long section. Test three
provided riders with 8.5 miles
of trails to test their abilities.
The day finished with longer
sections—7.5-mile, 7-mile and
10-mile tests—to round out the
day. With 36 miles of transfer
throughout the day, riders had
some time to recover between
tests.
Enduro Engineering's Toth
got off to a rocky start initially,
taking fourth through the first
test after a fall, but the GasGas
rider quickly turned up the heat.
He went on to win all the remain
-
ing tests. At the end of the day,
the NE Pro1 rider had bested the
runner-up by more than 53 sec-
onds to earn a unique trophy—a
Grassman wooden carving.
"I've been second place in this
series three or four times now,
and I'm sick of losing," Toth said.
"So, I don't plan on stopping
what I'm doing now. So, hope
-
fully I'll finish the rest of the year
out strong and keep it going.
