2008 Alabama Fall Team Race
Rogers and Strickland Win Again!
On October 25th, Blake Strickland and Scott Rogers with Wally and Susan Strickland, headed to Alabama for a Endurance Team Race. With heavy rains falling the day before, they really did not know what to expect, however they already had a goal for the race, win the team race and win big!
Luckily the previous days rain was just right. The entire race was run with no dust, a few water crossings and perfect conditions. The race was a fifty mile endurance race ran on a five mile course, with open sections, woods, plenty of rocks, log crossings, and water. With their plan
mapped out, Blake Strickland lined up for the start of the race. The plan was for Blake to jump out to an early lead and he followed the plans perfectly. Blake got a great start on his KTM World sponsored KTM 525 XC taking the holeshot and leading the first lap. He quickly handed the race over to Scott with a good lead. Scott set off to on lap two charging hard and attempting to extend the lead. Scott was setting a blistering pace when, after landing from a jump his tether switch shut down his Shamrock Honda, Moose Racing, Bearden Race Fuel, GT Thunder sponsored TRX 450R. He quickly restarted the bike and continued on.
Blake and Scott maintained a healthy lead until lap four. On the fourth lap, they opened it up and started setting an unbelievable pace. They were in a groove and hitting all the marks spot on! Every lap they were putting distance on the rest of the field. Wally and Susan Strickland were handling pit duties and they had everything set and ready to go. The race swaps were handled like clockwork. As the laps built, the lead increased until at the end of the race, Blake and Scott had a 9 minute lead on second place, setting some of their fastest laps as the race drew to a close.
Things were going so well they didn't want the race to end. But end it did, with the team taking the checkered flag and first place!
CSR Racing would like to congratulate Blake and Scott on a great race win! On and off the track,
these two competitors represent their sponsors in a very professional manner. They compete hard, race hard, and raise the bar to a very high level. They take the competition seriously but have a great time doing it. Brenda and I would also like to thank Susan and Wally for pitting for Scott and for your wonderful hospitality. Scott would also like to thank his sponsors. We feel that CSR Racing has the best sponsors in the business and are proud to be representing them. We invite you to visit our sponsor page and check out the sponsors web sites. We use these products because they work and have proven to be able to handle 
the rigors of cross country racing.
Soon we will have some sponsorship news for the 2009 season. Stay tuned.

Hope to see you at the races soon! Take care, God Bless, later...........
