Cole Kirkpatrick's Race
Report from National Enduro Round 1
HERE.
"...The tests were all over ten miles in
length and I knew going into the race, fatigue
would be my biggest challenge! I rode well all
day but I could feel my aggression fade in every
test at about the six-mile marker. A few times,
Brad Bakken caught me from a minute back
and that would always
make me wake up and attack. Brad was riding
awesome..."

little bit of a disadvantage -but certainly ok
with us. You can also send in with "TBD"
as the third rider on the team. the team.
Please make sure that you and your riding
buddies know that after February 15th the entry

Team Shenandoah
Honda/Offroadchampions get wet at Round 1 of the
AMA/Rekluse National Enduro Series.
"Sumter South Carolina is where the Honda
supported Shenandoah Honda/Offroadchampions team
made their debut. Rider Thad Duvall was anxious
to do well and please his new managers and
sponsors. Thad started test one with a solid
seventh place, 39 seconds of the pace of later
winner Steward Baylor. In the second section,
Thad scored another 7th place, getting used to
his new bike, a bike that he never raced before.
Soon into the third test he started to
experience some mechanical problems and had to
slow down.
Unable to really fix the problem, he continue
the race and made it to the finish in 18th place
in the Pro class and just missing the top 20
overall.
The team learned a lot about the bike and what
needs to improve before the next round in 3
weeks (Georgia).
The team would like to thank every sponsor of
the team, without them this effort would not be
possible." OffroadChampions Photo

In order to continue to
allow KTM's smallest bike (the "50 Mini") in the
LACC Beginner PeeWee class we had to make a
minor revision to the
Series Rules.
Max seat height for the class has now been
changed from 21.7" to 22". The latest
published technical details that we
found on the Mini shows a seat height of 21.97".
While modifying the Rules we also put a note
about riders who are carrying over winter break
injuries can work the first round.
We encourage everyone to
PRINT the series rules, actually READ through
them, and keep a copy in your rig.

Parents of children under 18 years old:
New annual REQUIREMENT
that BOTH parents must sign
THIS MINORS RELEASE before the
minor is allowed to race their first event in
2012. Both parents must sign (even if
living in different houses) and then as usual at
least one guardian must accompany the child at
the event.
This is also on the

Thanks to Jim Barrett in South Louisiana for
passing this on. The Recreational
Trails Program (RTP) is in deep trouble.
Originally known as the Symm's Act, the RTP has
been a major, often single source of motorized
trail funding in Louisiana and across the
nation. If you ride on a public trail in
Louisiana it has been funded by RTP. Without
future funding existing trails will not be
maintained and future trails not constructed.
Survival of RTP is vital to our recreation. RTP
funding ceases March 31, 2012. Please don't put
this aside. RTP will be saved by a grass root
effort of all trail enthusiasts. Please see
