Bobbitt and Buttrick
Podium at Jack Pine National Enduro
Moorestown, MI – FMF/KTM Factory riders Russell
Bobbitt and Cory Buttrick put in two impressive rides
at the 85th running of the Jack Pine Enduro.
Rain the day before and nice weather the day of made
for a perfect day of racing. The first test was deemed
the toughest of the day by the course workers but proved
to be an easy run for Bobbitt and Buttrick who turned
fast times right from the start.
Bobbitt, the reigning National Enduro Champion really
turned it up in the second test where he finished with
the second fastest time. From there he continued to
put in solid times even winning the fourth test of the
day which was the longest and least favored test. At
the end of the six tests Bobbitt sat in 2nd place less
than a minute behind winner Charles Mullins. Cory Buttrick
was able to hang on to 3rd over Husaberg’s Nick
Fahringer to put two KTM riders on the podium.
“I have struggled this year with a few injuries
and have really been focusing this last month on picking
up my speed through both riding and cross-training.
I am really glad to get on the podium and inch closer
to Mullins,” commented Bobbitt.
In addition to the two KTM Factory riders, KTM also
had Women’s rider Sarah Whitmore race her first
National Enduro. Whitmore started way in the back on
row #94 and was able to finish a solid 2nd place in
her class. “I’m from Michigan, but the woods
were still tighter than I normally ride. Overall I had
a lot of fun and definitely know where my off-road skills
need to improve to get a win next time.”
