Several diehard fans and enduro competitors came out Sunday to visit Sundance Vacations Speedway for round no. four of the Mountain Madness Enduro Series. When it was all said and done, Mike Parisi scored his first career victory in the 6/8-cylinder car division and Kenny Harper took the victory on the 4-cylinder event. Greg Harris took top honors in the 6-cylinder car/truck division.

Bill Schwenk started from the pole and quickly surrendered the race lead to Tom Szoke in the 100-lap 6/8-cylinder enduro. Shawn Gallucci jumped into the second spot, followed by TJ Kapish and Mark Martini.

Mike Parisi cracked the top five and ran fourth as the top three battled for the race lead five laps into the event.

Kapish worked his way to the second spot and began to pressure Szoke for the lead. He made the pass stick on lap 28 and Szoke regained the top spot two circuits later.

Parisi began to pressure Kapish for second and on lap 33 Kapish headed to the pits with a flat tire.

Parisi got the lead on lap 48 when Szoke was forced pit side.

Uncontested over the second half, Parisi went on to score his first career victory over Greg Harris, Brian Kelly, Kapish and Sam Morgan.

Harris competed with a truck in the 6/8-cylinder race and his second place effort gave him the victory in the 6-cylinder car/truck division, which was held with the 6/8-cylinder division.

Keith Frankenfield started from the pole and lost the race lead to Tony Rispin before a single lap was scored in the 100-lap 4-cylinder enduro. With one lap complete, Gary Fisher held second, followed by Frankenfield, Mark Foreman and Bill Rice.

Foreman worked into the second spot and challenged Rispin for the race lead. Lap seven clicked off and Foreman was in command. Meanwhile, Sam Ryan and Kenny Harper cracked the top five.

Foreman looked untouchable through out the event and was pursued by Rispin, Ryan, Harper and Ed Michael during the early going. However, Rispin was black flagged for leaking fuel on lap 30. The change of events moved Rice into fifth.

As the top two began to abuse their tires, Harper slowly closed in. With only eight laps remaining, he took the race lead and drove to his second career victory over Foreman, Rice and Michael.
