Lafferty Earns 4th Overall At The Rock Run GNCC

Husaberg Factory rider Mike Lafferty is putting his Husaberg were
it needs to be - out front. After a podium at the fifth round of
the AMA National Enduro Series, Lafferty followed up with a 4th
place result at the fifth round of the GNCC Series this past
weekend.
The fifth round of the series, dubbed the Rock Run, was built for
Lafferty and his Husaberg. The course consisted of a 14 mile loop
with lots of rocks, and to top it, hot weather. Lafferty, who is
known as a rock specialist, enjoyed the longer course and said the
weather didn't bother him as he has been preparing himself for
warmer races.
Lafferty got off to a 4th place start and moved quickly into 3rd
position. He spent the first lap of the race running in 3rd place
before he dropped to 4th on lap two of the race. He rode a strong
race to maintain that position for the remaining laps. When he
crossed the finish line to take home 4th overall it was a proud
moment for the 8-time National Enduro Champion who has only just
returned to GNCC racing this year.
"This is my best GNCC
finish in a number of years and it feels good to finish inside the
top five. It is rewarding to know that I can still hang with the
top guys. My Husaberg worked great in the rough conditions today
and I didn't have any trouble at all maintaining my pace. I am
really happy to get this finish and am looking forward to the next
race," remarked Lafferty.
Joining Lafferty at this race was his Husaberg teammate Nick
Fahringer. The Ohio native put together a respectable race to
finish 10th overall for the day.
