along the bottom to recover, so it
wasn't a relentless beating."
Graffunder went 2-3-3 for
second overall, including a fierce
battle with Ashburn in the first
moto.
"A lot of ups and downs this
weekend; that's how extreme
enduros go," said Graffunder.
"I had some clean hills and
some not-so-clean hills, but
all in all it was good. I had a
great battle with Jordan Ash-
burn in the final lap of the first
race. We were going at it hard
and it was really fun. The format
was cool and it was a really fun
day and a really fun course."
Ashburn's 3-2-4 landed the
Tennessee rider on the final step
of the podium.
"I had a pretty solid day,"
said Ashburn. "The last moto
was pretty tough and I just got
behind at the start and ended
up fourth in that race. The track
was really tough and it was a
blast. The first race was really
tight between me and Cory.
He beat me off the start but he
fell in the woods and then we
ended up getting stuck on a hill
together and he got away before
me and put about 30 seconds
on me before I could get go-
ing. I reeled him in on the last
lap and passed him, but then
I made a mistake and he beat
me. If I could have beat him in
that race I think I could have
finished second overall."
Knight was fourth with a 4-4-2
despite having clutch problems
in the second race after he hit a
rock and knocked a hole in his
clutch case.
