MAR 10-Mike Lafferty Race Report Alligator Enduro

Finally some warm and sunny weather moved in to central Florida for the 53rd running of the Alligator Enduro, but the damage had been done by many days of rain in the prior week making the course very wet.

The first loop was shortened for the 400+ riders due to the high water levels so most every one came through on time.

The second loop consisted of many tight flooded trails that started to spread the riders out. KTM’s Mike Lafferty would lead the way, getting to the gas stop with 8 points lost followed by Hawk and Raines with 9’s.

Heading out on the third loop trails proved to be much dryer and more open keeping the top rider very close, as Lafferty, Hawk and Pearson carded fours while Raines and Hawkins came through with fives. At the final check of the day most all of the rider would score a zero, except for Hawk that clocked in early adding another two points to his score.
