finish ahead of Mullins to keep the
championship alive.

the top five overall.
"It's good to be back at the enduros, but I still have a few things
I need to improve on," said DeLong. "I thought I threw it away in
the fifth test. I fell and it was the
slowest crash over the bars I've
ever taken. When I got up, the
start button was stuck and I finally had to kick start it. I lost a little
time there, but I ended up beating Fahringer by three seconds in
the last test, which put me ahead
of him in the final results."
Fahringer came into the Indiana race with a mathematical

Briefly...
The Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky Enduro Riders, along with the Black
Coal Enduro Riders in the Lynnville
area, which were the organizers of
the Black Coal National Enduro,
worked closely with the Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) while preparing the trail
used for the event. Carmen Jackson of the DNR explains. "The DNR
owns this property and we asked
these club members to go through
trail-design training, which is more
of a trust building exercise," said
Jackson. "Our job is just to make
sure these guys are putting in the
trail correctly and they've done a
great job. They are also doing a
great job on the administrative side
with permitting and insurance and
liabilities and such." The Interlake
property is 3500 acres for off-road
vehicle use of all types.
Obermeyer Yamaha of Jasper,
Indiana, paid out $900 for class
wins at the Black Coal National Enduro. Keith Obermeyer, owner of
Obermeyer Yamaha and a regular
national enduro competitor himself, posted $150 each for the winner of "A" overall, A-200, A-250,
A-Open, A-30+ and the Women's
class.
