"It wasn't ideal conditions for
row 42," said Duvall. "The first and
the fifth tests killed me. They were
really bad and really rutted and I
was just happy to just get through
them. The course deteriorated
so fast that by the time it came to
my row there were so many deep
ruts and holes that it was really
challenging. It was something like
I have never ridden before and it
was some of the deepest ruts I've
ever seen. I hope I never have to
race anything like that again."
Ben Kelley was among the rid-
ers who weren't happy with how he
rode, but was somewhat pleased
with the outcome. The Trail Jest-
ers KTM rider was fourth overall,
adding credibility to the third-place
finish he had in South Carolina.
"I got stuck a couple of times
and had a few crashes," said
Kelley. "It was a struggle, but I
had a few good tests and I had a
decent finish."
Ryder Lafferty won test five en
route to a fifth overall finish. The
Solid Performance KTM rider
also took top honors in the NE
Pro2 division. The win was Laf-
ferty's second in a row in the NE
Pro 2 class.
