GNCC Okeechobee Update
Other big news from the GNCC came in the Industry Race, which was held in the morning. Jeff Emig ended up battling with Innovation Sports Tom Carson and took the victory. This class has received a glug of notoriety as of late, with high end stars competing in the grueling race. FMF’s Danny LaPorte was also a front runner, only to scrunch his knee. Moose Racing’s Dick Burleson (last year’s winner) grabbed a top ten five finish. The Alligator Enduro
Dirt Bike tester and off-road legend Larry Roeseler called into the well anointed, yet tastefully decadent Dirt Bike offices with a quick rendition from the Alligator Enduro. LR participated and was one row in front of KTM’s Mike Lafferty. According to ‘Ski, it was worth the price of admission as he got a first hand look at Junior’s unbelievable tenacity in the woods. ‘Lafferty is stunning. That boy wicks it harder than anyone I’ve witnessed lately, and the tighter, snottier and tougher it is, the faster and more delicate he rides. The guy is gnarly!’ The National Enduro Champion recorded yet another enduro victory, topping former champ Randy Hawkins by three points. Roeseler said that it was super tough and challenging, plus had enough muck and yuck to make things really interesting. Lafferty, riding a 400 EXC four-stroke, dropped just 10 points to Hawkins’ 13. Hawkins rode a Yamaha YZ250F. |
