However, Mullins didn't seem

an impressive run in the final test,
going 15 seconds faster than
Russell Bobbitt, while Groemm
dropped all the way down to sev-

The final result was a minuteand-a-half victory by Mullins over

twisty trail, so I struggled a bit in that stuff," said Bakken.
"As the day went on it got more wooded and the dirt had a

RUSSELL BOBBITT
7TH O/A
Since he won the last round in Pennsylvania, Russell Bobbitt started from the front of the Pro rows in Indiana. And

just couldn't find that flow that I like to find. I got off the trail
once and got turned around and that cost me some time. I
didn't have any crashes, but I just didn't have any real fast
times."
