Team Christy Racing is on an impressive roll in the southwestern desert, with the most recent success coming at the 41st running of the SCORE Baja 500. The Burbank, California-based team started third off the line among 11 starters in Class 24 and led the race from the summit area of the course all the way to the finish. By halfway through the race, Craig Christy, Dave Scott and Andy Lagzdins had opened the lead up to almost 30 minutes. Team riders Joe Bernal and Steve Abrego held that lead for the last half of the race. The Duncan Elka-suspended TRX450R performed flawlessly the entire race. Dave Scott navigated the treacherous rocky summit with zero tire issues. "All we did was put gas in it from the start to the finish. The motor just kept pulling and pulling." The team ran the entire race on only one set of ITP Holeshot XCT tires with tireballs.

"This is five in a row for us," said Christy, referring to a win streak that began at the 2008 Baja 1000. The SCORE Class 24 and Best In The Desert Series quad team, led by Craig Christy, has dominated both series with five victories in a row. "We are looking forward to two perfect seasons and this win positions us well to dominate the SCORE series. Next up is Vegas-to-Reno the long way. The way our program is developing, longer races are our strong suit. We can't wait to get riding again."

Team Christy is supported by Elka Suspension, ITP Tires, PWR Radiator and Sunoco Race Fuels. Additional support is provided by: Rockstar Energy Drink, Cycle Gear, RGEAR worldwide, Instinct Charter Boat and Spider Grips.
