and that the shorter resets were a nice improvement. With a free weekend to choose any local race, National Enduro rider, Kyle McDonal, came to the event and made a statement. Everyone in front of him mentioned how smooth and fast he was throughout the day. McDonal was able to carry that speed to an overall win and an impressive score of 24-1039. Comparatively, check 8 was McDonal's strongest section as he laid down a section time that was two points faster than anybody else on the course. Second overall went to Ben Smith who has continually improved this season and has put in one of his best years yet. Aboard a fresh Suzuki, Smith has found new confidence in his riding and himself. He always seems to excel in the extreme conditions as well. Smith scored a 29-1283 and rode strong all day, while Jeff Pasqua remained one point behind aboard his Bromley's KTM Kyle McDonal with a 30-1334. When Pasqua isn't the overall winner, you can JPhoto by Mitchell- Farr Photography count on him never being far from the top step.
