Much of that distance was comprised of tight, narrow sin- gle-track where it was impossible VOL. 51 ISSUE 27 JULY 8, 2014 P111 Briefly... Since he's now the series points leader in the Kenda AMA National Enduro Championship Series, pre- sented by Moose Racing, Nick Fahringer will miss round five of the OMAs—the inaugural Buffalo Run in Sturgis, South Dakota—since both events are on the same weekend. While the Husqvarna rider won't lose third in points, he'll certainly lose ground. Speaking of the Buffalo Run, things are shaping up nicely, according to OMA officials. With no mini or ATV races, Saturday, July 26, will be de- voted to the usual motorcycle fun race and additional practice. The standard motorcycle classes will race on Sunday, July 27, with the normal afternoon event being run in a two-moto format, each of those an hour and 15 minutes long. In addi- tion, the mayor of Sturgis is sched- uled to do a parade lap at some point during the weekend, which could be interesting as he apparently hasn't ridden a dirt bike for years. Unlike the Interlake course, the Sturgis cir- cuit will be considerably shorter and include an EnduroCross-type sec- tion, all to make it more attractive for spectators—and with the race being held between town and two of the more popular bars outside of town, spectator traffic could be substan- tial.

He completed the morning race, finish- ing fifth in 30-39 C. continued on next page Paul Whibley didn't put a wheel wrong all afternoon in Indiana and claimed his fourth consecutive OMA victory to keep his season's record perfect.
