Championship

Christy's retained their class 24 (Pro 450cc)
#1 plate from 2008 and started the year off strong
with a win at the San Felipe 250. Keeping the
momentum moving, The Baja 500 was up next and
another victory was the result.
The real work came in November as the team contested
the 42nd running of the notorious Baja 1000. This
year's 1000 was shortened to 631 miles, however
most of the 328 entrants would agree, this was
the toughest course in recent memory.
Christy rider Dave Scott will never forget his
after dark ride through the infamous “Mikes
Loops” including a failed headlight and
freezing temperatures. Rebounding from several
mid-race mechanical issues, the goal shifted from
winning to finishing! After over 29 hours of racing,
the team crossed the finish line in 3rd place.
This hard fought result was just enough to earn
the coveted SCORE Overall ATV Championship by
a tiny 6 point margin over Honda backed Wayne
Matlock.
