The Robby Bell/Kendall Norman/Johnny Campbell trio won Class 22 and the overall on the No. 1x Johnny Campbell Racing. Of the top 15 pro class finishers 11 were racing the Honda CRF450X, 1 on a Honda CRF250X and 1 on a Honda XR250R. In case you weren't doing the math that's 13 of the top 15 finishers racing Honda! Impressive to say the least.

Our CRF's Only sponsored Sportsman Class team finished safely and in 3rd place! Great job team!

Terrific!
We also had a great weekend. We won the Baja 1000 in the Pro ATV 450cc class - Honda really does rule the desert!

I just wrote this press release for the occasion:

ATV Team Christy Wins The 2008 SCORE Baja 1000!

The 41st running of the SCORE Baja 1000 has concluded. 347 teams started the race making up an armada of Trucks, Buggies, Motorcycles and ATV's
After almost 17 hours of non-stop action, Christy took their 101A race machine to a decisive victory in the hotly contested PRO ATV Class 24. The 5 rider team was propelled to
first place aboard a purpose-built Duncan Racing / Honda TRX-450R.
So many desert races are lonely marathons against the clock, that was not the case at this event. Within the first 100 miles it was clear that Christy's only competition would be the
103A bike of Tom Wright II, Andy "YMA" Lagzdins and Jim Stack. They brought their "A-Game" from the east coast of America to the northern chunk of Baja, California.

The two teams held the top positions well into the night. Disaster almost materialized in the form of a loose electrical connector on the Christy Bike.
As fate would have it, lead mechanic Leonard Duncan was on scene and together with the help of riders Dave Scott and Jeremy Sanchez they diagnosed and repaired
the issue. The unexpected downtime had dropped the Christy effort to 3rd place. The riders job was clear: "Put the team back in first place". Two things stood in the way of a victory,
the seemingly endless San Felipe "whoops" and the waning daylight. Steve Abrego made quick work recapturing the penultimate position from sneaky 102A and Dave Scott rocketed
back to the top spot through the aforementioned "whoops". Enough of a gap had been created by race mile 400 that the chase team, fueled by Rockstar Energy Drink, executed a tire
change with Jedi-like style and speed. The tire change got rid of a nasty vibration that had plagued the riders since Abrego's rocky section earlier in the day. Jeremy Sanchez took over
and used the fresh rubber and his night riding expertise to further the lead to 17 minutes. Speed-Demon Jason Wade hopped on the bike at Valle De Trinidad and gave the bike's 5th
gear a real work out. Jason had focused his pre-running time in this section at night and was very much at home passing bikes at a breakneck pace. His confidence was briefly
rattled when he tagged a "Booby Trap" at race mile 524!

With 103A still hot on his heels, Jason handed the bike off to Team Principal, Craig Christy for the final 70 miles. Moments after leaving Santo Tomas, Craig was alerted via radio that
the lead trophy truck was 15 minutes behind and closing fast. Craig was now riding to keep not only 1st place, but stay ahead of the truck and it's pace slowing dust. With at least three 800 horsepower / 4 ton trophy tucks
breathing down his neck, Craig kept the hammer down! The first two trucks passed 101A on a paved section, and the 3rd truck was not able to reel the quad in through the final more
technical section before the finish line. 16 hours and 57 minutes after the start, Christy had crossed the checkered flag in 1st place! Craig's final push had broken 103A's resolve and
an hour would pass before they reached the podium in 2nd place.
