Factory FMF/KTM rider Charlie
Mullins took his third win of the season at the fourth round of
the Rekluse/AMA National Enduro Series where he won all six special
tests in route to victory.
Rain the night before and morning mist had made the first few
sections quite muddy. This proved to be no challenge for Mullins
and his KTM 350 XC-F. He crushed the first test section taking the
win by 37 seconds. He continued to stretch his lead in the
remaining tests, taking the win in all sections. At the conclusion
of the race he won by a margin of over two and a half minutes ahead
of Husaberg's Russell
Bobbitt.
"I have never won all six special tests before," remarked Mullins.
"It feels pretty cool to do that. I felt really good today and had
no issues. My bike was flawless. My team did a great job with my
bike and I am grateful I was able to do my end and get the
win."
Now four rounds into the series, Mullins leads the championship
standings by 11 points.

Factory Husaberg rider Russell
Bobbitt and AirGroup Radiant Racing Husaberg rider Nick
Fahringer finished 2nd and 3rd respectively at the fourth round
of the Rekluse/AMA National Enduro Series dubbed the Cajun
Enduro.
Bobbitt rode strong from the opening test to the final test
section. The 4-time National Enduro Champion finished 2nd in four
of the tests to help maintain a gap over third place. At the end of
all six tests he was able to take home 2nd place with a margin of 1
minute and 26 seconds over Fahringer.
"The track was definitely muddy in sections and very slick to ride,
but overall I felt pretty good today," commented Bobbitt. "I had a
lot of fun in the second test section. It was really sandy which
made it a blast to ride. The third section was pretty hard-packed
and slick and I didn't enjoy that one as much. The fifth and sixth
tests were pretty fast paced and I was able to ride pretty strong
in those tests. I am happy with a podium result today but
definitely looking to get up to the top step of the podium."
Fahringer also had a solid day only falling outside the top five in
one section. His best test results came in the final few sections
where he was able to make up time to place his Husaberg into a
podium finishing position. Finishing just off a podium spot was
8-time National Enduro Champion, Mike
Lafferty. The veteran rider turned consistent times throughout
the day to place fourth overall. The riders now have a two week
break before they head to the fifth round of the series to be held
in West Point, TN.
