Toth Clinches AMA National
Enduro Championship
A
s the Red Line Oil AMA
National Enduro Series,
presented by MSR and Beta Mo-
torcycles, winds down with two
races left on the schedule, it was
down to the wire at the penulti-
mate round for many competi-
tors in the championship hunt.
More than 325 had the opportu-
nity to advance in the standings
as they took on Zink Ranch in
Sand Springs, Oklahoma, on
September 22. One of those rid-

group hosted a 30th anniversary
reunion ride and banquet to
recognize and reconnect former
ISDE competitors with each

hard-pack and rocky conditions
with some dust thrown in. The
first two tests were 7.5 miles
each, followed by a 10-mile sec

tion. The fourth test was another
7.5-mile trail, and a 9.5-mile test
wrapped up round nine.
It's been a phenomenal
season for Enduro Engineer-

but two wins this season. The
Connecticut-based rider kicked
off the day in Oklahoma with two
test wins in NE Pro1. Then, he
