hard-fought
battle with fellow SETRA

Nauonal Enduro Champion
Mike
Lafferty at the Cherokee National
in
Georgia, where, after riding
through
l7
checkpoints, he ended
up nipping
Edmondson by 49 seconds
on the rie-
breakers for the win.
Lafferty. who
after
two rounds has
yer
to
pull
off
a
win.
which. for him, is
rather unusual,
finished
a full
point
behind the SETRA
guys.
Both
Bobbjtt
and Edmondson
posted
33s on
their
scorecards,
while Lafferty, a victim
of a slow start,
posted
a 34.
"This
was an awesome race," Bobbift
said.
"Traction
was
great;
there
were little
ruts in
every turn, so
you
could
just
rail
the turn. This is my favorite race.''
