Charles Mullins continues his domination of the Rekluse/AMA National Enduro Series with a win at the seventh round of the series, the Inyan Kara Enduro. The Obermeyer/AM Pro/FMF Yamaha-backed Mullins won four of the six checks en route to the win.

“I had a good race today, I don't think I ever fell,” said Mullins. “My Bike ran good and I knew I had a lead going into the final section. I just tried to ride smart and not blow it.”

In the runner up spot was Cory Buttrick, the FMF/KTM rider setting the fastest time in the first and last sections, but ultimately finished a bit over a minute behind Mullins.

“I rode good, and I know I was fast in a couple of sections, I just need to work on the sections in between.” said Buttrick.

Finishing out the podium was Husaberg's Mike Lafferty. The eight-time national champ was in the hunt most of the day but couldn't quite put it all together.

“I felt more comfortable on the bike today than I have all year,” admitted Lafferty. “Mullins and Buttrick  just have a bit faster pace.”

Defending Series Champ Russell Bobbitt finished fourth, despite still suffering the effects of a separated shoulder. Bobbitt battled most of the day with Lafferty and would finish 25 seconds from the New Jersey rider. Rounding out the top five was Husvarna's Glenn Kearney.
